Some wives are there only to be a trophy
The Trophy Wife



Statuesque

quaint roses, daily calls

love notes, sly looks

bright eyes, flashing lashes

wet lips, tasty balm

soft kisses, twinkling stars

moon light, knight's charm

falling rain, colored bows,

rainbows, oh, promises

pretty things, diamond rings

thin fingers, long arms

bulging breasts, thin waist,

taut sinews, firm lines,

baubles and bangles

dangling bracelets

wrists and ankles

decorated

Trophy

Anus (f) Latin for old woman, old hag; anus (m) ring; anus (m) fundament

Wife

Until day by day

dead roses, no calls,

business notes, dry looks

dulled eyes, drooping lashes,

cracked lips, tasteless balm,

hard kisses, fallen stars,

ignored moon, knight's gone,

drenching rain, wrinkled bows,

rainbows with no golden ends,

ugly things, tarnished rings,

fat fingers, flabby arms,

sagging breasts, folded waist,

snapped sinews, wavy lines,

bubbles and dangles,

tarnished bracelets

wrists and ankles

bone bare

Trophy

less

Life
