Opportunity

Opportunity came knocking, Showed me his ID, Came with his rehearsed spiel, We are in your area this week, Us opportunists! With our reduced deals, Yes! I thought! I know your game, I tried to speak, He got louder, Don’t miss out he said, This offer is the best, Exclusively for you, Sign up today Your last chance! I kept saying! No He wouldn’t listen Promising me the world, He must be programmed, I’ll get rid of him, Slam the door shut! I thought, Raise my voice! His foot Jammed firmly in the door, So I acted like I was interested Agreed with him, Played along with his game, Yes opportunity that sounds great, He got very excited, Started to go in for the kill I was laughing inside, Wondered when he would stop, No other opportunity was better, Yes I thought but even opportunist gets tired, And he did, I looked him straight in the eyes, No, I said! This time I knew that he had heard me, Not today thank you. That was the last time Opportunity passed my way. 02/11/2016 For contest sponsor Nayda Evette Negron
