THE NOUVEAU RICHE Nov. 3/86 Karl Rigelhof

Are you affluent
Or is it incongruent
With your lifestyle

Are you pursuant
Or are you simply truant
Missing by a mile

Are you a constituent
Or did you solve what the clues meant
With a smile

Are you impudent
Or have/did they see(n) where/(which way) you went
All (of) the while

Are you (very) prudent
Or have they picked up the/your (true) scent
Walking down the aisle

Are you aberrant/abhorrent
Or are you just ignorant/bent
Awaiting your trial

Are you (still) dormant
Or have you been persistent
Until you're volatile

Are you (non)conformant
Or did you find the coefficient
To unlock the hidden files

Are you the informant
(Or) is it (all that) (un)important
It all seems so distant/instant
(Like) a number on a dial/
So cruel and (so) vile
