Gotcha
The orange juice was being sold
At quite a nifty price.
I bought a few containers,
Feeling proud, not thinking twice.
But something made me double-check,
Since looks would not suffice,
And that is when I noticed
What I don’t think’s very nice.
Each orange juice container,
Looking normal, to entice,
Was a bunch of ounces smaller,
So I offer this advice:
When a bargain is presented,
You can always roll the dice,
But from corporate America,
There’ll be no sacrifice.
