Comment from Sarita Méndez
Excellent poem, and very realistic, as it must happen more often than one think, ha, ha !! And I guess that it also happens for women being robbed by their husbands when they are richer that them...
I'm a mathematics teacher too. Had I wrote this kind of poem, I would have add some verses related to maths to add to the humour, such as an easy equation to know how much she spends from your Visa, ha, ha !!

Thanks, Sarita. I see you are a new member. Welcome to FanStory. I think you will enjoy this site. You have given me an idea about writing a mathematical poem.
Comment from Jacob1395
I liked the originality of this piece, it definitely isn't your typical love poem, when it seems this person thinks their lover only loves them because of their bank balance, I hope I got the interpretation right. An engaging read. Good luck in the contest.

Thanks, Jacob. You got it right.
Comment from jmdg1954
For me, this would have bode very well in a humorous poem contest.
It was fun to read:
You love me to the depth and breadth and height

Best of luck in the contest. This should gather votes!
Cheers,
John

Thanks, John. I was probably pressing the envelope a bit with the humor.
Comment from Goodadvicechan
Money can be evil. Some people will do anything for money.
Your poem has shown us, love exists as long as money supply lasts.
I like your ending. Good decision to leave her out of the will,
Thank you for sharing.

Thanks again, Chan. Money is the culprit in many failed relationships.
Comment from Wendyanne
Lol this is great, obviously based upon Elizabeth Barrett Browning's "How do I love thee?" I was going to write something similar as that was the first poem that popped into my head but I think you have made a much better (and funnier) version than any I could have written. I've read it a couple of times and each time it makes me chuckle. Good luck.

Thanks, Wendyanne, We must think alike. EBB's poem popped into my head as soon as I read the prompt.
Comment from Paul Manton
Elizabeth Barrett Browning Sonnet 43 - and a very good satire you made of it, Paul. It is a brilliant parody of the famous poem, showing exactly the opposite motivation from the original: not love, but greed!
But the end makes it even more enjoyable - two people who loath each other, she an everlasting drain on his cash, will not get a brass farthing when he goes. Revenge is sweet when all the cards stop working.
Congratulations on sticking so close to the original - and for bussing in Lady MacBeth.
Good luck in the contest.
Paul

Thanks again, Paul. EEB is probably turning over in her grave, but she may have gotten a chuckle out of this.

You bet!
Well done.

Comment from Leigha Winfrey
This is deep. People can be so shallow and unappreciative. They will be the ones to find out the hard way when they are all alone that all the money and possessions they have will never make them happy, nor will it replace the warmth and caring of a human being. Beautifully written!

Thanks, Leigha. When you take away the money, things change.

Credit card love, how funny and how cynical you are. I really like that. This poem is certainly an original twist on the love poem contest. I much prefer it to sloppy gushiness. Good luck and Best wishes. Jen.
