I thought this time I’d do a rondeau wich is a fixed form of poetry, I welcome any attempt to sing this little song of irony (except my own)

we’re fabulous, we are the best
adorned with marking on our chest
a brand of excellence for us
the common man we can repress
cause our club excludes the rest

come look at us, the fair noblesse
we’re better bred there is no test
just DNA will make you blessed
we’re fabulous

you say plebeians are oppressed
society has now progressed
why ever should we this discuss?
your simple manners won’t impress
remember this in your protest
we’re fabulous

  1. ah, the people you love to hate right?
    I always wonder what it might be like to be born CONDESCENDING and Exclusive. You learn a behavior, that I am sure of.

    but of course, your way of expressing it was brilliant!

  2. I love that you use a fixed form of poetry to portray a fixed perspective. It’s so indicative of someone who can’t see outside the lines. That middle stanza in particular was like a needle jabbing. Great satire, here! ~Christine (Trifecta Guest Judge)

  3. A great take on the prompt. Loved the firs stanza, it said so much about those who think themselves above us mere mortals.

  4. I very thoroughly enjoyed sing-songing this one out loud, and added a huzzah at the end. Poignantly sarcastic, or sardonically satirical…hmmm. Your poem is making me want to frame my comment in a lyrical manner…
