Bling song
Dear Editor:
To “Carol of the Maroon Bells,” by John Hagman:
Hark how the rich
Entitled rich
All seem to stay
Throw things away
Bomb squad is here
Aspen they’ve cleared
To young and old
Meek and the bold
Bling it is wrong
That was his song
With angry ring
Jim C. Blanning
He seemed to see
New SUVs
From everywhere
Drive without care
Snorting their flakes
Raising the stakes
O’er hill and dale
Fat like a whale
Bells do they ring
Registers sing
Songs of good cheer
Profits are clear
Very, very, very, very rich folks
Very, very, very, very rich folks
On on they spend
On without end
They raise the price of every home
Bling’s wrong, bling’s wrong, bling
John Hagman
