My Wants Are Few

I nominate for obsure burial
The gruesome television aerial;
Long-haired affairs; the must-see show;
The fancy posies some folks grow;
The friends who come here just to kibitz;
Excursions; boatrides; art exhibits;
Long mountain trips; resort vacations;
Fast cars full of starved relations–
I don’t despise these foes of boredom.
It’s just that I cumot afford ’em.
