The Vulgarity of Good Taste

I was listening to Kansas Public Radio on the way home from the grocery store. The classical radio host was introducing part of the musical score from The Day the Earth Stood Still by Bernard Hermann. Herman hated "the vulgarity of good taste," a phrase he coined to describe the creation and persistence of convention in the face of invention.

I bought a mini fridge today
It's hidden under my desk.
For sure, I will loose less food this way
To the office's snack stealing pesks!

The things I eat aren't cheap, you see,
I buy them for my health.
Organic, low-fat and sugar free
Labels part me from my wealth.

So work-place pirates listen up!
Take heed. Stop this whilst you can.
You may have had my soup in your cup,
but I will have your neck in my hands.
