Sally wanted holidays
in very smart hotels,
and promised great room service
in return for wedding bells.
Sadie set her heart upon
a house beside the sea,
another for her mother
and a separate one for me.
Steffi wanted restaurants
with multi Michelin stars,
caviar for breakfast
and the most expensive cars.
Sandy ordered cocktails
that cost both arms and legs.
Then she took my credit card
and drained it to the dregs.
Girls whose names began with S
had not been great successes
till Sarah paid for fish and chips
and trumped all my ex-S‘s.
