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 !
