A Slapper With Class

What are you doing?

'Slapping anything against the wall,
To see what sticks.
It seems to work for others.
And amazingly enough,
To their benefit.'

But...
What about that which you value?
Aren't your values and standards,
Going to be diminished?

'Are you kidding?
I'm not an ordinary slapper.
I am a slapper with class.
It will be noticed how much of it I have.
Hand me that bucket.'

Which one?

'The one that has the mixture of glitter in it.'
