sonnet #1,585
Mums shadow sharpens lengthy dusky dim
Although hes sweet to me a stable rock
His black sheep background bodes the chances slim
Mum cross examines suitors stood in dock
My best friend hangs on glamorously grim
She tags along and echoes us ad hoc
Her tearful eyes embarrassed overbrim
Our gormless glances latch and rarely lock
Around his ex he acts just super sweet
She tells him thoughts inane or not that nice
He wont work loose he gives her good advice
And tortuously Im pinned to plain deceit
High noon sun save my soul from this wrangle
Shrink sharp shadows minimise knife angle
Chorus wrangle corral muster
