Muscles And The Socialite



As if a 72-year-old socialite
wouldn't grab a chopper
to maintain both job and socialite standing.

Leaving aside whether he actually gave her the job for the perks;
as if a man, who stresses
he's wiser than his two predecessors,
and has her as a personal friend,
wouldn't know she'd do that.

As if he shouldn't quit as well;
not wise at all
but a dumb-bell.
