CAVEAT EMPTOR!

If you are a mason and dreams of marrying a judge

Without bettering yourself first

And all you do is to spend your fortune on her making her your honour badge

When she becomes the judge and decides not to your side budge

Don’t sigh and never say why?

Caveat emptor!

 

 

If yours is to close your eyes and buy

When you have some dollars as compared to your static pennies

Then when you reach your edifice and see the junk

Don’t say, only me why?

And don’t sigh

Caveat emptor!

 

If yours is to support the unscrupulous

Because of your selfishness

And you end up throwing in all your finances knowing it is ridiculous

Never say, only me why?

And don’t sigh

Caveat emptor!

 

If all you want is to travel abroad

Because you cannot stand being on your own shore

And you give all you own for a fiddle to hoard

Never say, only me why?

And don’t sigh

Caveat emptor!

 

 

If all you seek is the power of fame

Though you know your time is not rife

And you throw all you own around just to opposition tame

And you lose the game

Don’t sigh and never say why?

Caveat emptor!
