Viewing ads as gospel really isn’t wise
It’s just that they’re ambiguous; not because of lies
Take the words, “Made Pre War”, more than likely true.
But do they mean Korea, Viet Nam or World War 2?
And “Lifetime Guarantee”, pumping up a vendor’s spiel,
A pitch, the gist of which, calls this a dynamite deal.
The words are great, but never states whose lifetime’s at the core
Mine, as buyer? Theirs, as seller? or the lifetime of the store? ?
Now words were meant to educate, but do not take for granted
That just because they’re down in print, the message is not slanted.
Make certain what is promised you, will cover every base
So if there is a conflict, you will have a valid case !

TRuly words to live by(buy?). BettyN
Truer words were never spoken, but lots of promises are truly broken (as is the merchandise).
So true!! The best adage I’ve heard about this is when someone asks you how things are going. The reply is, “Unbelievable.” No one knows if it is unbelievably good, unbelievably bad, unbelievably new, old or whatever.
