So many petty worries and concerns
Rumors to be spread and gossip savored
Garments to be displayed with fresh patterns
For your sleek or stout forms. deftly tailored
You are always fishing for the money
Your sunburned friendship is just a disguise
Flattery is smooth and sweet as honey
Designed to attract life's only real prize
All the while, as you scheme and strategize
The light kisses the water's labile lips
Savoring beauty you can't monetize
Both know more than you do about your hips
Study the language waves speak with the sun
We were not made for profit but for fun
