Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

Notes About The Poem

I Should'Ve Read the Fine Print

The net's rife with possibilities,
you can order anything online.
And if you are shopping for a wife,
there are sites where the ladies look fine.

There's no denying they're pretty,
like a model or a movie star.
And they're all eager to travel here,
no matter your looks or who you are.

For a measly one thousand dollars,
I get to choose any girl I want.
And of course, I picked the sexiest,
that choice would come back to haunt me.

The big day came when she would arrive,
finally, I was to see my bride.
And as soon as she stepped off that train,
I wanted to either run or hide.

She had to be sixty if a day,
with glasses so thick she had to squint.
And much like that Nigerian Prince,
oh boy, I should've read the fine print.
