Checkmate? (Limerick)

“Your payments have fallen behind.
Where’s my money?” the contractor whined.
“Our deal’s ‘a blank check’
To rebuild your wrecked deck.”
The reply: “Yes, that’s why it’s unsigned.”

    but you signed what you ought to have read.
    Now your house has a lien
    and my foreman has seen
    to a tilt in your deck you will dread.
