The Car Salesman's Dream
The Car Salesman’s Dream
By Elton Camp
It had been hard a customer to spot
At Honest Uncle Bill’s Used Car lot
But right then, a better car to acquire,
Came Freddie the impulsive buyer
“A newer car I want to get today,
Please pick me out one right away.”
The lot owner had one two years old
It was one that much needed to be sold
“How about the white one over there?”
Freddie: “That one’s fine. I don’t care.
Get it ready for me to take home today.
Let’s go in to your office and I’ll pay.”
“But just how much do you want to spend?”
Freddie: “You know the price, my friend.
You may charge whatever it is you will.
I am sure that I can trust my Uncle Bill.”
“But are you certain it’s the one to take?”
Freddie: “It has power steering and brake?
I’m sure a good car’s all you have for sale.
I don’t really care about any other detail.”
An extended warranty Freddie bought
He accepted the offer without thought
Fifteen percent financing he found fair
Only about the payment did he care
And as Freddie slowly drove away,
The salesman let out a big “Horray”
Then he felt his wife give him a jerk
Bill, you better get up and go to work.”
