Sonnet 142

Back in the 80's I'd make friends you'd hate

- when we had to have exclusive loving

- and dignify newly hitched married's state -

- you unwoo'd me by spousal reproving

- or threatened us with making me unthine

- divorce to spare your scarlet ornaments*

 - a one man Kray twins extorting love rents

- what's yours was mine mine forever just mine...

...I'm still expected to forget all those

Whom thine eyes woo'd when sex with me bored thee

So joint value of our real estate grows -

 Who still feels love the way it used to be?

    (Hope there's no love child you're trying to hide -

      Bloodline inheritance can't be denied!) 

*er - blushes.
