Sonnet for the Wives and Girlfriends

Kiss, kiss, mwah, darling, dear, it's been too long
Start of football season is not a game
Smile in place, make-up perfectly put on
Who WAGs the dog when all tails look the same?
Kiss, kiss, mwah, I've seen her wear that before
Fear in her eyes - his contract's not yet signed
A true friend would buy her Christian Dior
To ease the pressure from her tortured mind
To BeaMer, or not to BeaMer, or Porche?
Better suffer muck slinging from the Press
Than admit his mistress a friend of yours
And glitter o'er his faults in that new dress

Theirs is a world in which power is beauty
Friendships made victim when challenged by duty
