We had even planned on expansion
but no longer making the grade
Since lost our overblown McMansion
now dwell in ‘hovel’ without maid

Reality, not erstwhile charades,
humiliating and novel
Tumbling hard in Free Market cascades
spoiled lives crashed now have to grovel

No longer fine china afternoon tea
got dumped hard into Actuality

-charade = a blatant pretense or deception, especially something so full of pretense as to be a travesty
-McMansion = or Starter Castle
