Gyles' poem this week is Poor Little Rich Girl by Noel Coward



Poor little rich girl, you're a bewitched girl

Better take care

Laughing at danger, virtue a stranger

Better beware



The life you lead sets all your nerves a-jangle

You love affairs are in a hopeless tangle

Though you're a child, dear

Your life's a wild typhoon



In lives of leisure, the craze for pleasure

Steadily grows

Cocktails and laughter, but what comes after?

Nobody knows



You're weaving love into a mad jazz pattern

Ruled by pantaloon

Poor little rich girl

Don't drop a stitch too soon



You're only a baby

You're lonely, and maybe

Someday soon you'll know

The tears you are tasting

Are years you are wasting

Life's a bitter foe



With fate it's no use competing

Youth is so terribly fleeting

By dancing much faster

You're chancing disaster

Time alone will show



In lives of leisure, the craze for pleasure

Steadily grows

Cocktails and laughter, but what comes after?

Nobody knows
