Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 The Number of the Beast

I cheated on the wife, of course

She caught me having the affair.

And so she sued me for divorce.

All the assets that we did share

In the property settlement,

I did get the shaft more or less

And she got 'bout ninety percent,

Plus alimony from me, yes.

To add insult to injury,

The court decree in fine print said

Court costs were payable by me,

And a hellish amount I read.

Six hundred sixty six bucks fee,

The devil in the details be.
