Mary Grace Poet Blank verse

Look Out - Small Print

LOOK OUT-  small print

I really should ‘a read the fine print
Cause that’s what makes all the trouble
The fine print, the fine print
Does anyone take the trouble? 
To read the print that’s got so small
And so faint, on paper that tares so easily 
Should we bother to read it at all
But with the magnifying glass we wearily  
Proceed to get to the end of the fine print
It’s a never ending source of pain
For nothing really as we never gain
It’s all in the favour of the vendor
Or, if needed the mender

It’s no better in this new and modern age
On the computer that’s all the rage
On this site or that, there it is the fine print 
And it’s a fact, nobody can look in this age
On any site without that dreaded stuff
Up it comes with a great big puff
And do we read it not at all  
Now it’s many pages long for all
Tick this box or that else you get 
Many a thing that you regret 
Not reading all that very fine print

The fine print we should ‘a read
Many start with good intentions
But after umpteen pages we bend
So much trouble to read to the end
That everything becomes in such fuddle
Oh we all are in such a muddle
What did we really miss
When it came to that tick list

Always remember though it’s true
I really should’a read the fine print
