Until debt do us part
I should have seen it coming.
Could have sworn I heard her say,
some slightly different wording,
in our wedding vows that day.
I had this funny feeling,
with the words she liked to play.
This should have been revealing,
"To Love, squander-on-E-bay" ?
"For richer, not-for-poorer",
were the words she said in stealth.
To her hand, she slurred the words
"and in sickness, if-there's-wealth" !
I should have seen it coming.
Should have known right from the start.
That what she really said was,
"until debt then do us part" .
By Jove !
