$50,000.00 Mattress

Since over half the people round the world sleep on the floor,

A fifty-thousand dollar mattress is too much décor.

You might as well be sleeping on a load of silver ore,

Or on a stack of greenbacks try your very best to snore.

 

Building such a mattress is a monumental feat,

Not to mention something of a horrible conceit.

Rumplestilskin spinning up a golden ripe bed sheet

Is the only person who might think it is discreet. 

 

Anybody buying such a mattress is aware

That if they mention what they paid, most everyone will stare.

But then the filthy rich so really, truly do not care –

They think that ev'rything they do falls under laissez faire.
