I really should’a read the fine print when I bought a ‘micro pig’ For this porker is enormous, surely it’s not meant to grow this big! I really should’a read the fine print when I brought an old motor car It broke down on the way home ...oh dear it didn’t get very far He really should’a read the fine print when his bright pink condom split Money back if not completely satisfied – I don’t believe a word of it! I really should’a read the fine print when I joined a get rich quick scheme I sent off all my bank details … and found my account has been wiped clean!

Alas, Jan, 'tis often too late that we reflect on the error of our reading habits. I enjoyed the couplets and got a good laugh out of this one. Thanks for participating in the contest.

I should have read the "I Agree To All Terms And Services" section ... but don't feel so bad, Jan. I don't think ANYone reads those things. Always funny. I think the pig and condom ones were my favorite: first I'm thinking, "Now why are you buying a pig in the first place, let alone 'micro'?" second I'm thinking: "If not completely satisfied .... I don't think the couple buck refund is gonna help you all that much if it split on ya, if you know what I mean ;)" ...

Timothy I think the "pig and a condom" is the basis for a Limerick

Jan Allison
Date: 4/14/2016 2:43:00 AM

Pure tongue in cheek humour Timothy especially the condom one - I couldn't resist that line about being satisifed lol:-) Good luck in your new life ... Will miss you and your lovely comments and poems - I hope you are settled quickly and back on line soon:-) hugs Jan xx
