Son of a Beach

Screw Skull and Bones

Son of a Beach

A summer day
At the beach
Ocean breezes
The Hamptons
Or anywhere upscale
Where posh women lunch
Slather with sun block
Bake by the sea
Afternoons before
Cocktails at the club
Where husbands golf
Cutting deals on the greens
Idle conversation
Gossip of affairs
Latest rumors then
Their children
Inevitable one-upmanship
My son admitted to Harvard
Proclaimed triumphantly
Legacy connection
Several generations
Old money
Another chimed in Yale
Son of Skull and Bones
Yet again Williams
Trumping everyone
My kid got into RISD
Not doctor, lawyer or MBA
My son the artist
Sure path to
Fame and fortune
