Outside the Yacht

Outside the 'Yacht' they say its losing money,
they built that big extension and put
a spa in the basement, I can't say
I'm too surprised.

Full of the pretentious, the lonely
and the hopeful, upstairs you get ripped off
on minimal Sirrocco Fayre.

I've been there on occasion,
sat in the 'fresco' area
where all the smart ones are seen
and the has been's go as well.

Outside looking at the 'Yacht'
watching men with wide lapels,
don't they know they look ridiculous
eyeing up the girls.

They say its losing money,
Can't say I'm too surprised,
the spa is overrated
and the clientele is dated.

It could become a Planet Hollywood franchise. Only the sign would have to change.

In the past a symbol of having 'arrived,' the yacht is a perfect metaphor for the wannabes of the world. This place is 'the place to be seen', then that one is. They come and go, just like the people in them.

Enjoyed this.

Perhaps a petition to rename...The Titanic, perhaps.
I enjoyed this. It is the story of so many overripe establishments I'once frequented that became caricatures of them selves.

This made me smile. It's definitely out of touch with the times.
Great poem. :-)

One agrees with what is written, and "Yacht" is it all to know a sail?
