Money is dear
to Rosy.
Pink diamonds
are her favourite.
Hermes Birkin
handbags she adores.
She hoards
biscuits and bars.
Shops, bargains,
threatens, pays nobody.
Wields her power
the wife of a powerful man.
Currencies, diamonds and gold
fluctuate. Never the handbags
Rosy’s handbags are worth
millions. Their value increases.
A prudent investor, Rosy
determines she is an empress.
A fortnight back,
she fell from grace.
Her husband’s defeat
puts her in gloom.
Her wealth baffles.
The Police seize them.
Rosy keeps mum.
Her husband faces interrogation.
Greed leads to false glory.
Spells doom.
