How Deep In Debt Are You?

And,
My love...
You have my mind.
My heart and my soul,
For all eternity.

'And you, my pet...
I will be forever indebted.'

No!
Think of my love as ours to share,
For the rest of our lives.
I have so much of it to give!

'No,
My love.
I am hoping...
With your assistance,
My bills and creditors...
Will procure for us a decent payment plan.
And eternity will not find us forever...
Fighting to deny our bliss like cats and dogs! '

Wait a minute!
How deep in debt are you?

'Deeper than the depths of the Atlantic Ocean!
Where do you go my love?
Do you rush to purchase more wine? '

No baby...
I'm trying to find the exit,
So I can get out of here as fast as I can.
I'll give you a call, okay?
