You played the misery game

I'm sorry

But I didn't sign up 

For that-

A thousand games

Of Pai Gow-

You had stacks 

Of parting gifts

In the living room

Twelve sets of steak knives

Fifteen sets of something else

Rows and rows of these things

And more in the garage

I said why am I paying your mortgage

When you're squandering away all your money

On these stupid tournaments

She said

Because you love me.
