Pretending

Hello Darlings!!
Apr?s ski?
Exaggerated bonhomie
Written large for all to see
Super Darlings! (Disagree?)
Greatest friendships
Painted smiles
'66 and Nobby Stiles
Laughing, falling in the aisles
Missed the joke by a million miles

Forcing laughter
Play the clown
Look - he's got his trousers down!
In for penny and for pound
Both her feet have left the ground

Burning candles
At both ends
She's smashed!! Inebriate with friends
Doing ninety into bends
Let's see what the night-time sends

Hello Darlings!!
Look it's me!!
Must dash - catch a plane you see
MG embedded in a tree
Escape drunken injury free

It's me!! I'm back!!
Queen for a day
Spot-light hits the blues away
Flesh exposed, tits on display
Moist lips suggest she wants to play

It's Sunday morning
Annadin
Tesco's: get the weeks food in
Clean the car
Put out the bin
Done nouveau riche pretending

Vacuum, tidy,
Armchair seats
Watch Sunday's black and white repeats
Mental note to change the sheets
Telephone rings: her mother bleats

Here comes Monday
From bed she crawls
She dreams of multi-coloured halls
Of dressing up for golden balls
Meanwhile fielding customer calls
