Enhancement


 



Everything's enhanced today, from athletes to our food;
"Supersize my whole dang life!" would seem to be the mood.
So baseball stars take steroids and we need more gigabytes;
we have mortgages so heavy that they ruin our appetites.
"Life Enhancing Moments" are the only things that sell;
the pharmacy has pills to cause our you-know-what to swell.
Our BlackBerries and iPods keep us going night and day,
and our lattes are not modest but must always be Grande.
I don't know when "enhancement" came to mean the same as "greed",
but downsizing expectations is exactly what we need.
