The Un-Welcome Mat

I Do not Want to hear Your sales pitches. I need no brushes. I do not eat cookies. I donated blood last week. I have a good vacuum cleaner. I have no time to read magazines. Please do not tell me your religion. Do I look like I wear makeup? I have an alarm system. You do not need my vote. I just cut the grass. I do not smoke. So you can Just get Lost. This is a double nonet

Wow...I'd read the title to this nonet, but then had to run off, but the title made me think of all sorts of "Un-Welcome Mats" one could create.:) "get Lost" would do the trick, I suppose. Best to you, Mikki
