TAKE CARE

By 8th July 2016December 9th, 2019No Comments

Always read the small print before you finally decide

You never know what pitfalls they are designed to hide

Like the side-effects which can be caused by a wonder drug

Or when some crafty swindler tries to take you for a mug

If you get a salesman knocking at your door

Just remember that you’ve heard it all before

“Look before you leap” should be your golden rule

This will ensure that no-one takes you for a fool

To make sure it’s not “a pig in a poke” you have bought

Now is the time to give it earnest thought

If you sign in a hurry it could seal your fate

If you think about it after, it could be too late

For there are many who try to do something under-hand

So always read the small print and make sure you understand

Take all the time you need to ensure everything is fine

Give it a lot of thought before you sign that dotted line
