Read The Fine Print Poems

The Johnson's found the house they'd dreamed about
They signed the papers happy as could be
But when they read the find print, they did shout
Their interest rate balloon they hadn't seen

They tried to sell the house, but had no luck
So with...Read More

~~
The truth was out there, but pitiful you
forgot to read the fine print
It seems you misread all the signals,
but here is a slight hint,
just in case you are wondering . . 
what you mean to me 

Your heart is mischievous...Read More

God gave us the gift of life; it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well.
No one ever finds life worth living - one has to make it worth living.
My hearts tells me to go meet...Read More

Falling asleep in a Lazy Boy recliner with the TV on all night
can't sleep in the bed cause I think we are in a fight
Not sure what I did and being sorry is not enough
forgot to read the fine print...Read More

At first I wasn't sure what I was listening to, if anything at all 
 but as I moved a little closer, sure enough she was singing 
 The Christmas branches hummed and the tinsel drummed 
 and the figurines...Read More

Read in-between lines
Glimpse clear message fine


Catch the hidden touch
That tells more than much


Know that spacious lot
Beyond simple thought


Read the fine print well
Watch secret art spell

Dear Budding Poet,

Modern poetry is a mix of new and old with modern styles created by bending or even breaking the rules of old forms to create new ones.
Express yourself any way you want to because the rules are not...Read More

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...Read More

Shoulda read the fine print - 8 Feb 2018

Binary code can only be understood
by those who look closely under the hood

The fine print of human DNA
the crux of reproduction per se

The fine print so small and very well hidden
the knowledge...Read More

Shoulda read the fine print; my bad!
I’d still have my dog if I had,
but “no pets” the contract had said.
The dog’s with my ex now instead.

At least for the pool I was glad.
Shoulda read the fine print; my bad!
No guests?!...Read More

There once was a woman titled Clair
who bought a spectacular timeshare
she got caught in their net
put five years into debt
and complained it simply wasn't fair.

My eyes are leaking more,  
my throat is kind of sore, 
my nose is runny 
like a captured and released, single witness 
that knows of the buildup. 
  
I can’t take it anymore. 
From me breathing hard 
to...Read More

A HEARTY EXPERIENCE

Bad cholesterol found easy sites in my heart for deposition
Time came when they needed to be cleaned by operation.

Two stents were planted by what they called angioplasty
My heart would survive if the arteries didn't again get nasty.

As medical...Read More

Should have read the fine print when I ordered my Thai bride
My doorbell rang, there she stood, said "can I come inside ?"
"Come in" I said, "I'll take your bag and would you like some tea ?" 
" Yes please"...Read More

I see that Bubba’s so forlorn.
He’s too depressed to talk today. 
Two months in a full-body cast	
can keep one’s cheerfulness at bay. 

He donned his super hero suit 
and took a header off the roof
(two-story!) Nothing broke his fall.
He lies...Read More

The net's full of possibilities
you can order anything on line.
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 are eager to travel here
don't...Read More

With each fading beat I see clearer
Every drop that falls speaks
Innocent hearts shattered like mirrors
Tonight redemption you will seek  

Tears of lovers past scream to be heard
Broken souls held in sorrow's purgatory 
Your true intentions no longer blurred
A complete recompense...Read More

I shoulda read the fine print
when I married you.
A tyrant waited in disguise.
If I only knew.

It would have warned, "Mammy's boy"
Her favourite out of eight.
He knows not how to wash a dish,
or remove ashes from the grate.

It also might have...Read More

SHOULDA READ THE FINE PRINT

It was bright and all shined up
So I laid my money down
Jumped right in and buckled up
And headed off uptown

It began to rattle and shake
Smoke began to rise
I knew I'd made a big mistake
I had listened...Read More

I was born to be a writer-
    It just came to me quite young,
and even sometimes, I am a songwriter.
    Since the beginning words have sprung,
I never realized words would shatter my heart;
that my...Read More

So many years ago, in my teen years,
   our mom received a gift, her newest 'toy',
      a Presto pressure cooker added to
her kitchen to create meals we'd enjoy.

But her beard is bushier than...Read More

in bygone days I did the football pools
and always hoped my X had marked the spot?
making sure that I had read all the rules
