Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Divvy Up

My marriage ended in divorce

With no children involved therein.

Settlement took an easy course,

Since the only asset there'd been

Was the debt free house we had shared.

Thus each party was to receive

A one half share the judge declared,

A fair division to achieve.

I admit I was more concerned

With getting even than with fair.

It mattered not we both get burned

If it caused ex grief and despair.

So figured I'd have the last laugh

When I chain sawed the house in half.
