Alvin the Car Salesman

Al  pushed to sale the most cars on the lot
He came up short, he gave it his best shot
         Went to a online sales school
         Paid much, he felt like a fool
The class was useless and it was for naught

So he studied some tapes of car  salesmen
One guy stood out and his name was big Glen
        Big Glen was very good
    Al thought,” He could, I could
The  next day poor Al came up short again

He left that car lot and he didn’t look back
Did not  want  his boss to give him the sack
        Took out all his savings
        Gave in to the cravings
Bought car lot up the road with his friend Mack

Wasn't Alvin a chipmunk? Who would buy a car from a squirrel? Enjoyed, Alexis! Aloha!

Yeah!! Al was very competitive and went for his dream. I hope he sales more from his lot than his competition. Your visit to my page was uplifting. Reads like a good entry for the contest. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara
