BEASTLY TALES
THE USED CAR SALESMAN
I went to town the other day
And saw a used car yard on the way
“Honest Abe's” was the name of the yard
So I thought I might ask for his card
I carefully walked across the street
In order that the owner I could meet
A salesman did suddenly appear
And the look of him was frightfully queer.
A bright green suit with a purple tie
And clearly he wanted me, a car, to buy.
“Now what can I do to put you into this car?”
He said before we had got very far
“Come on, get behind the wheel”
“And see just how good you’ll feel”
“This beauty only took Granny to the shops”
“And she seldom made any stops”
‘While the mileage is high, not at all low”
“It served Granny well, wherever she’d go”
“This other one may rattle and clunk”
“And there may be some junk in the trunk”
“This other one’s a bit of a heap”
“But you’ll notice it’s cheap, cheap, cheap!”
“Now here’s a “corker”, it hasn’t gone far”
“It could serve well as your next car.”
“Here is a nice little motor, at last,”
“Owned by a clergyman who never drove fast.”
“For this price there is no more to pay”
“Just get right in and drive away.”
No more to pay, until you break down,
Where, of course, you are far from town,
Yes, break down way out on the road,
And have to be expensively towed,
(As you now shudder and panic)
To an exceptionally costly mechanic!
And so Mr Salesman, if it’s not true,
Don’t say that it is, or we may have to sue!
you describe the full story in the form of poem which is very interesting.
Lovely poetry <3
Actually there is an element in all the words and the material has to be maintained
Why is it that we do not care about our follow man? Purposely misleading him into acquiring something worth no value in the name of making a profit, any form of profit. And why is it that some go for cheapness and expect quality. In life we get what we paid for it.
Enlightening poetry this is.
Awesome poem, I find it very funny, great job.
Thank you.
Honest Abe's, thats so funny. The picture cracks me up, Abe with his bright green suit and purple tie. I would not be trusting someone that looks like that..
I will throw in a fridge, and a nice pair of shoes,
have you over for dinner for a delightful soup.
Sign, sign, on the dotted line here,
no need to look under the bonnet, I can asure you it's all clear.
You have to be quick there's several already interested,
wouldn't suprise me if they take it this evening.
Go with you're feelings, allow your desire to take control,
Imagine your family when they see a new car, and out with the old.
This deal is real, you won't match anywhere else,
besides you can't trust the others, they dont want to help.
In my experience they only care for self,
It's not about the customer, or a genuine desire to help,
I'm different, charismatic and charming,
It's not till you leave, that the alarms sound a warning.
maybe this is the funniest from all that i have read since i followed you beastly!!!...i enjoyed it very much i have to say, maybe cause i had the very same experience almost 2 years ago..
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
