Notes About The Poem

Shoulda Read the Fine Print

Hounding my head how stupid I was,
shoulda read the fine print.
I misplaced my glasses and couldn't see
what I bought online and they were sending me;
that bottle of wine didn't help my sight.

When I opened that package
excited to wear my new underwear
you can imagine my fright
to find a box with a pair of Candy G-string and bra.
Embarrassed to wear them,
but decide to give it a try
eager to see if they  make me feel sexy and young.

My husband is in the corner crying
because he doesn’t get a treat
he is a diabetic and can't have anything sweet.
