When she entered into his space
She neglected to read the fine print
Had she been more diligent she
would have opted for a detour
Any alternate path would have sufficed
You see the phrasing for the contract was
muddled, the meaning lost in a place
where what is said is not what is done
Slow to understand and embarrassed to
realize, that his was a space where
arm’s length was more than a simple
measurement
Arm’s length wasn’t her forte
Throw the girl a normal curve and she
could make that bell ring
Seeing too late the standard error
she simply calculated the damage
changed the math, and drop kicked
his operation to the curb
