The American Dream.

His Name was Robert Paulson
He lived A Happy Life
He was an everyman
He Worked a blue collar job
He Earned about $67,000 a year


He would walk around pompously with his cheap tie and suit
While carrying a leather brief case he had no need for
He was slightly overweight,
He was Partially bald,
and He smelled faintly of Febreze Air Freshener


His wife was a stay at home mom,
She cooked, 
She cleaned, 
She raised,
And She took care of his three kids,
And their pets.

He drove a honda civic
Scented with Cough Drops and Cigarette smoke.
He lived in the Suburbs, 
He lived next to a Preacher and A High School English Teacher,
He lived In a modestly sized two story home.


And he went to church every Sunday,
Would watch some football, to watch his favorite team play
And after that he would go catch a couple drinks with his friends


Bob lived the American Dream.
The Sad Monotonous American Dream.
