His voice loaded with joy
Just bought my fifth car – Boy!
Five! ! ! I gasp, ask WHY
Wait - he says, then Relays
The story is simple, Money -
cheap as a pimple. My
first one is very special
I use it for office, my pal
The second one for the pretty wife
No office for her, but lavish life
She drives and rides with the friends
While I work hard at this end
Still three more, I said – Man
why you bought them, answer
if you can. You poor little folk
Without an SUV, the life's a joke.
The fourth one, for informal dinners
parked in garage, its face glimmers
The fifth one is for black tie affair
that are indeed rare
I am loosing big time on life
slowly I realize, One job and
no mortgage to pay, am I not
living in a historical day

not exactly..you are not living in historic..your friend seems to have a craze for cars..wonder where he will park them
Your friend is just another guy who craves empty social recognition
I agree with your title completely! Collecting cars like this is so materialistic when he can't use them all at once, so he justifies why he has bought them. I would call him a 'show off'. Yet, collectors are everywhere collecting all sorts of things and this is his thing! I would put ear plugs in when he boasts about them....well written Nikunj and shows your versatility in writing. 10 love Karin
a modern man's greed well portrayed.loved it.thanks nikunj.
You have made the simply profound in this refreshing poem.10/10
I found this poem amusing. This is called keeping up with the Jones' or in other words being materialistic. I guess we all are in some way.... some just more so than others. You did a great job showing how he 'justified' the need for them. When in reality, who could 'need' five cars? Want is another thing entirely, but then we dont have to justify a want.... nicely done!
A show-man's fantasy...sometimes bad exemplars also fit in historic day....a good flow and well said poem10
O what a fool the story is simple and clear its all about Money, Hunny you gotchaaaaaaaa! ! ! ! dont you? -10 love anjali
