A magnifying glass -- it retails,  
for just a dollar ninety nine.  
Helps find the devil in the details  
when searching for my soul online.  
It's been a while since the transaction,  
and feeling no adverse reaction,  
you would have thought I'd let it go --  
were it that simple, would be so.  
You see, I've found a better bargain,  
and want to renegotiate,  
although I must say that of late,  
and without settling for jargon,  
the devil has been hard to find.  
I should have read before I signed.
