The Fine Print

Sometimes the fine print is not so fine.                                                                                                                                   Yet the product has proven hard to find.
It was my misread, not the print's misdeed.                                                                                                               Perhaps it's because I was not duely focused.
Was I tired, hurried, and stressed, or just getting old?                                                                                                           At any rate, I came home with the wrong ice cream.
It was suppose to be butter pecan, not peanut butter ice cream.                                                                             I do like peanut butter on bread or crackers, but not in ice cream.                                                                                  
Yes, I should always read the fine print, and most times I really do.                                                                       But this time, I should have put the 'B' in front of, not behind the 'P'.
