Read The Small Print

Read The Small Print

They didn't tell you how to make love properly,
there was no mention of who would get property,
not a word about the trauma and bad turmoil,
or so many things that make your blood boil.

If it was an 'act 'of God,' then they wouldn't pay,
camped in a caravan forever, my garden way;
my nephew already has his funeral sorted, trust?
no, didn't know the insurance co. would go bust.

We hear all this stuff about old age, equity release,
screwed your value, voila, will wonders never cease;
I'm reading law in the next life, so watch out angels,
getting new wings will be one of the afterlife's miracles.

They promised me the Earth but ended up with hell,
don't trust anyone who thinks you're such an easy sell.

It is amazing TERRY......that you were able to (so cleverly) convey the minute details......the fine print, if you will, of subject matter so important to the masses in general.......and to do it poetically.......Wow!!...I mean you truly bring the Title of the poem into living color ~

            ~ "Getting new wings will be one of the afterlife's miracles..."

This is my favorite read thus far today.....it has the "Tip of the tongue" effect on the reader.....like "Hey that's exactly what I thought!" kind of effect ~

             ~ "Not a word about the trauma and bad turmoil
                 or so many things that \make your blood boil....."

ALL STARS & PINNED!!......your skill with the Sonnet grows dear poet brother.....sprouting the wings of mastery!!......ever the pleasure Terry.....hello to the wife my friend.....LOVE & ROCKETS!!.....T xo  : )
