Marilyn Lott - A Classy Blend

I would peer through the fences
As I walked along the street
It seemed shade trees kind of guarded
So the folks I couldn’t meet

Why, they must be so rich I thought
Too rich for the likes of me
But I slowed down my gait
Still could mostly just see trees

I fancied myself rich too some day
When I grew up and then
Because I had so much money
I would spend and spend and spend

I would have a house much larger
Than any on this street
And I would be much friendlier
To anyone I’d meet

That was when I was just a kid
When I grew up and walked by then
I wasn’t jealous any more
But still enjoyed the classy blend!
