Women Who Lunch

There is a place in Foxrock where women lunch.
They swing up in their Audis and they park.
Loud bag and label jacket
Chins and scarlet lips and nails to skin a cat
Shoes....
.....which cause that un-sophisticated gait
Hair shaped the way that nature never grew
Positioned with great care.
Conflicting perfumes stifling the air

The look’s a demonstration
Of some far off dream
The Style ....celebrity
And glamour magazine.
It symbolises everything
They wish to be
But in reality ..are not.

The wedding finger screams out ‘ROCKS’
Plotnikka diamonds..worth the cost
My husband gives me baubles, rubies, sapphires
The worldly goods of my desires
How glad am I for that !
And though at work
He is a fornicating jerk
We are respectable
And live together
In our costly Foxrock House
I take that as a perk.

There is a place in Foxrock where women lunch
They swing up in their Audi’s and they munch.
