Honoree talking to her faux professor husband:
Well darling
We've lived a very middle class life
and nuzzled up,
cozzied up against our middle class friends
Talking about Jamie oliver
And all the different kinds of Chilli
available in the Waitrose supermarket that money can buy
Our money darling, our money can buy us choice in the supermarket
I can just hear the nasally tone of voice
When each tries to sound more horsey than the next
Sebastian and her
Each coming from working class parents who have tried to make it
No, have made it into the landed classes
Will pay thousands of pounds a term to get their children into
a private educations
and the Diana whose father worked hard his whole for money
For what
To make money but contraditorarily to preach
About how it is the root of all evil
Diana has a plain idea of the security that every woman seeks from a man
- that he should make enough money,
So she looks for this,
And Sebastian her spouse had been looking for just that sort, the sort who are looking for a monied
father figure, the sort who can provide,
Except he, he never quite can finish making money,
Perhaps there was an eating diorder in his family,
Or a sign of family out of control, trying to stay in control of the finances,
Because he only cares about making more money, his mother's wish
And having more food,
Ah the stability
Then you've made it
The class system
The fool
George, performing
the childlike role for the teacher
The naughty child who can only find fault
No he is generous and warm, mostly like a teacher,
yet, that is also what George is looking for
a father figure,
always the absent father,
And then why not throw it all away and move to a classless society
Like Australia
