Have I Got a Deal For You

Have I Got a Deal for You By Elton Camp On my way from parking lot to store There was a man I’d never seen before Wearing dark glasses and a checked coat He beckoned to me with a demanding note His jacket he held open so I see stuff inside “Come over. Have I got you a deal,” he cried “I owned a jewelry store, but it was shut down. On the remaining stock is the best price found.” It was several shiny things that he wished sold “Why each of these items is real 24-carat gold. And all of these great gems that you can see, That they are flawless diamonds I guarantee.” The costs he quoted were so incredibly low So I decided that with him was the way to go I bought a gold ring, the finest I’d ever seen, But after just a week it turned my finger green

HaHaHaHa....remember, all that glitters is not gold, and if a deal seems to good to be true it probably is NOT truly a good deal....Caveat emptor!
