The Print is Fine and Dandy




Upon settlement of what is unduly authorised

by Crown and sundry

to be the property of said immigrant on said day at said time

you are subject to said fees and charges

to be paid before settlement

each fee will compete with the charge

both fee and charge will be paid at the appointed time within the accounted period

fee fi fo fum instruct the agent to suck the thumb

before the charge of lender’s smite in case of flee of said mite

with a prior offer to have been accepted whereupon the smidgen took flight

get the agent to instruct the lender to bring in the broker to bankroll the solicitor

all of these fine upstanding particulars partake of the settlement fee

stamped with the duty of expendable hours

assured to insure the horror of those who come before us

and who come after us

and think they can own what is dishonourably theirs to take by the sail

of every anchored ship

you will be charged as soon as you buy the pillow to sink your head

you may end this contract by standing under the vanishing vine

of inclement hunger with two beans digested

before three days clear of clouds but heavily soaked in cufflinks

though there are and always will be seven exceptions

quickly grab the creeper
