Certified Pre-Owned

Attention, all you men and ladies: Hurry - here’s your chance To get your very own Mercedes; See how it enchants! Take a look – it’s sleek, not bruised; Its body we have honed. Who told you that this car was used? It’s certified pre-owned! Of course those terms are not the same! They’re mutually exclusive. Being “used” connotes some shame, While “pre-owned” is elusive. I guess it means it was possessed By someone very rich Who, though he really liked it best, Was forced to make a switch. So here it is, for you to buy. You’ll join the true elite; And that is why the price is high – Our salesmen are discreet. You’ll feel so special when you drive This car that’s almost new. The envious will all contrive To be as cool as you! Ilene Bauer (http://primetimerhyme.blogspot.com)
