Support

This week’s prompt made me giggle, and my first two attempts are rather irreverent, so I thought I’d better dig a little deeper for the final two!

My mother swore by
the support of Spirella –
famous for corsets.

Cherie Blair wants us
to forswear husbands’ support:
what if he leaves us?

As well as strong walls,
a house needs good foundations –
build to withstand storms.

Friends, my prop and stay.
Where would I be without them?
In the soup, that’s where.

Ex-Prime Minister’s wife Cherie Blair made the headlines this week with some weird logic. She thinks that women should not rely on financial support from their husbands in case he dies or leaves them, and stayathome Mums are setting a bad example to their children.
