~
Chosen for her easy nature
Pliability, malleability
Plasticine-like quality
To be moulded into the perfect wife
To share his ambitions
His dreams and drive
T’wards the perfect life
~
And she, in love with love
Flattered and thrilled
Sweet-talked and cajoled
Happy to be chosen by this boy
From all the girls around
Was quite giddy with joy
To be the one he’d found
~
And so the years sped by
He, working hard with no time to play
Building his empire day by day
His trophy-wife playing her role
Yes dear, no dear, three bags full dear
Whatever you say dear I will agree
As long as I know that you love only me
~
Headlines flashed around the world
Luxury home bathed in blood
Tycoon dead
Wife of many years said
They were so looking forward
To his retirement at last
Reward for the hard work of the past
~
Secret lives of the rich and famous
Who shall remain nameless
Although not blameless
Are laid bare for all to share
Money can indulge all tastes
Penchants, and inclinations
Temptations and innovations
But the price can be too high to pay
When the day of reckoning comes your way
~
THE END
