The Model Behind the Mask

Their discreet shadow bourgeois dignity
The perfect couple and all would agree

It is her self-absorbed complicity
That allows his mock-connubial love

Children boarded at university
Left alone with their darling pastimes

She the charitable socialite queen
He and his office inamorata

They share a commitment to worldly things
A model husband and his lovely queen
