Whereas the wherefores and hereins
obliterate beginnings without ends
redefine how “fine” relates to “print”
misunderstanding - “that’s not what it meant”.
Therefore it is with great expense
whereas the document just makes no sense
we’ll bill you as the tiny type disclaimer
says there’s no way that you can blame her.
Hereafter you’ll be known as party “A’
the one it says is “gonna hafta pay”
until your residence is just a box
Ah, the price one pays for tangling with a fox.
Alas, it seems, your friends could not sustain
the agony of listening to your pain.
Henceforth, it seems that you are on your own
wherefore art thou now, Oh Romeo.
John G. Lawless
