It Was a Good Morning Until

It was a good morning until I found out the truth,
That my dear husband was a two-timing fool.
He was already married to a lady named Ruth.
I loved him so much; how could fate be so cruel.

When I got the news, he was on a business trip,
I learned the line between love and hate was thin.
His actions caused the death of a lovely friendship.
The legitimate Mrs. was able to get under my skin.

So my degree in finance came in real handy,
I took my ex to the cleaners with one click.
Met up with my first love named Randy.
I'm sure when he swiped his card, he felt sick.

Something like that is sure to ruin a morning or perhaps a lifetime. He deserved the revenge. Well done, Alexis.
