Revised sonnet #236
Your diplomatic dodge he venerates
You wind up confidante he flaunts his flaws
He ferries fools acquires your clique of mates
He proves a busybody gives you pause
Your speech he summarizes seeking cause
He knows to nod your pain its covert root
His magnified affection underawes
You wait on stab of back or kiss of boot
Your moodiness he makes out strongest suit
His role the money market maverick
Your scowls he shrugs off whimsical and cute
You wonder what he judges something sick
The dates three men and none a proper match
I disappoint a lost last look I snatch
Chorus match analogue equivalent
