NO Guarantee

WHAT IS A LIFETIME GUARANTEE ??????

Maureen Clifford © The #Scribblybarkpoet


Nothing is forever…not life, not love, not dreams.
We merely live on borrowed time or so to me it seems.
So what pray tell does 'Lifetime Guarantee' seek to imply.
For once whatever 'tis has died, no life does one espy.

So live just for the moment and in life get engaged.
Live every day outrageously. Happy you've laughed and raged.
You may as well for what they're worth, write guarantees in sand.
The tide will wash the words away. Their promises won’t stand.

There are no guarantees in life, no definite conclusions.
Life is full of mystery, suspense and some illusions.
We'd all like a happy ending. A sugar coated pill
but life is not a bit like that; it won't bend to your will.

I've been recycled and reused and time is running out.
I've seen the good as well as bad; of one thing I've no doubt.
When day is done and night time falls and from life I've departed.
My lifetime guarantee runs out and it won’t be restarted.

No use in taking failed goods back – to stand and rant and rage,
or pointing out the guarantee that's written on the page.
Useless to claim false advertising though you think you could.
The Lifetime guarantee has died... and now it is no good.

Yes, food for thought there, Maureen!
