Contract

 My final February Album Writing Month skirmish for 2023. The prompt was a contract or deal that went bad.

Sign where you see the sticky arrows,

Be sure to get the last page notarized,

Overnight them back and we can finalize.

Pretty straight forward way to end the lies.


Got married in a tux in front of family and friends,

Blessed and cheered, ate and danced.

Ended it by showing your driver's license, 

To a notary public at the bank.


Put the signed papers in the prepaid envelope,

Drop them off at UPS,

Wait to receive the mailed decree and

Once again you will be free.


So, sign where you see the sticky arrows

Be sure to get the last page notarized

Overnight them back and we can finalize

Pretty straight forward way to end the lies.


Thought the first agreement was a done deal,

But currencies changed, we each added clauses.

Payments made, payments lost,

Without the original contract, we got kind of lost.


Some truths were hidden, others weren't accepted.

Time to recoup some of what was lost.


So, sign where you see the sticky arrows

Be sure to get the last page notarized

Overnight them back and we can finalize

Pretty straight forward way to end the lies.
