Where You Need to Sign

Put your name here

And don’t read

The above

The above

Has nothing to do with you

Just what you’re agreeing to

And the result of what will happen

If you fail to do

What you’re agreeing to do

But you don’t need to know

What you’re agreeing to

Because you’ll probably do it

Without realizing you are

And alerting you

To what you need to do

Might distract you

From actually

Doing it

Make sense?

Sign there

Print there

Initial, initial

Try to make your ‘g’s happier

And your ‘j’s more sleek

Be glad about the risk

You’re taking

Approve with glee

Approve with a smirk

Approve, approve

You’re getting ahead

You’re taking a chance

You’re signing on

We’re proud of you

I’m proud of you

Are you proud of you?

And what do you think
You’ll have to do

To keep up with the--

But let’s not talk

About that

Let’s not worry

Let’s not fret

This isn’t a gamble

This isn’t a bet

Sign on the line

And let life take its course

I’m your enthusiasm

Not your remorse

That comes later

If at all

It probably won’t

Sign here

Initial

Write ‘That’s okay’

You’ll never need

To remember any

Of what

You’re signing away

Today

I signed as well

Look how happy I am

Nothing went wrong

And everything was--

Please put your social

And your date of birth

And your mother’s maiden name

And who we should call

If you disappear

Before doing

What it is

You’re agreeing to do

You can’t disappear

Unless we make you disappear

Not that we would ever

Make you

Disappear

But we might

Because we can

But we wouldn’t

We never would

And you don’t have to tell us

If you’re a woman or a man

Just date of birth

And color of eye

Who you loved in high school

And don’t forget why

Sign twice below the photo

And don’t ask why we’re showing you that

That was the last person

Who failed to

What the contract asked

And as you can see

They look pretty scared

But you’re fine

You’re great

You’re well-prepared

To take this step

To sign your name

To accept the consequences

Or the blame

This is so great for you

This is just great

You’ll be happy you did this

You will

Just you wait

Now sign and smile

And let me take a photo of--

You look better already

You look thrilled

And in love

And if anything goes wrong

Well, you can’t call me

But you can somebody

No idea who

In fact

I have no idea

What you would do

I’m never around

When things like that go down

I’m usually long gone

And way out of town

But good luck to you

Thank you

The signing was great

Now get to doing

What you need to do

I wouldn’t advise

You wait
