You know that tiny print on the side of the can.
yea, the one where you need a magnifing glass.
Sometimes it does help to read it.
Someone who lived in my house before me didn't.

So yesterday when I felt energetic and decided to clean my oven,
I pushed the button and all Hell broke loose
Someone had cleaned it before me with a chemical cleaner.
Within minutes my home was full of toxic fumes.

I flung open the doors and windows and stumbled from the house,
Then I remembered my dogs and had to go back in and get out again.
Coughing and gagging I thought about dialing 911,
but that would mean I'd have to go back in for the phone.

4 hours later I ventured back into the house to get the phone,
called my landlord, gave her what for, "Oh My" was all that was said.
So now I have a headache, nausea, sore throat and cough.
"Oh My, my foot." Should I sue or what?
