Anisha Dutta Poet Couplet

Calous

Being tempted on clearance sale,
        I rushed for discount to avail
        of buying a suitcase on urgency,
        any kind formal or fancy,
        as bonus point I received gift coupon
         to follow on.

       I wished prompt to use coupon I got,
      but was told, it could not be used on dot
      Validity will start one month after,
       no option, but compulsion to buy later.
   No hurry! At ease I will decide next
    and put it pocket.

      At the end of next month, I visited the shop.
      I acted tactful to claim stuff on thirty percent off.
      Just worth the exact amount    
        availing of total discount,
         so that I won’t pay any extra
          etcetera.
       
         Owner of the shop was sorry to state,
         coupon had crossed its expiry date.
         At beginning of month it was valid for three days.
           Now coupon is useless on any purchase.
            What to do? Only to repent,
              no outlet.

       I should have read the fine print,
         So callous I am, owner gave no hint.
         I could not argue though news gave me a jolt.   
         I could not blame either, it was my fault.
        No consolation! I could not gain,
         all in vain
