My New Device

I found a bargain at the smart-phone store
   Let out a cry; felt I'd won the war
I took it home, where it soon broke down
   My smile was gone, replaced by a frown
    
I took it back, and showed the clerk
   He told me that he couldn't help
Items 'On Sale' -- no returns or exchanges
   So, I said I'll write a review on 'Yelp' …

The clerk changed his tune, and in a flash
   I had a new device, with a deep price slash
Thanked him profusely and went on my way
   Booted it up ~ it burned and crashed

Hi Gershon. You would be surprised if you threaten what you can get out of it. I was at Long John Silvers and my fish was really bad. It had barely any fish in it. I went to the counter and said I either wanted new fish or my money back and they said they couldnt do anything since it was on sale. So I got on my phone and started recording myself doing a video. I got a new whole dinner without question. I am known for advertising on the local news if I get something bad. :) Thanks for sharing
