I Really Should'A Read the Fine Print
The bold print was indeed gorgeous
Too prominent to befool
A quick surge in the unconscious
Brought me down in the pool
I am now almost drowning
Entangled in the moss and algae
Fine print-distress now unfolding
Though I crave I can’t be free
Had the gale of wind not arisen
I would have remained a captive
It would be hard to break the prison
The pool would have been most disruptive
One should always read the fine print
To avoid such a faux pas as the pool
Not responding to just the subtle hint
That stir the heart and feel cool
