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.”

Great descriptiveness and rhyming here. I worked ten days for a car dealership, and I now consider that ten days of my life wasted.
