Misgivings of a Car Salesman

Anthony “Tappy” Paull

In avoiding trouble we seek not to cross the path of these criminal types,

Convict Politician or Car Salesman perhaps or is their rep just a great lot of tripe.

 

For it is true that some of them shrewd will forget to fill in all of the details,

Named worst of the worst the Car Salesman it’s true most hated of anyone retail,

 

But then you see along there comes me new and oblivious to all said before him,

A road to the Sale I would study and learn my knowledge now full to the brim,

 

Problem you see is a nice guy like me can be fooled by a system if flawed.

The customer arrives and charm we provide so that by all then we will be adored,

 

Our job simply is to listen and to match your needs to what we can offer to sell,

At the end the of the day if attention you pay you will see that we’re helpful as well

 

To question no crime but be sure at the time that we have alternate motives intended,

If Management says that the sale won’t go through to get the commitment amended,

 

This is what we do ask commitment from you to purchase some of our product,

But it’s quality sure we cannot guarantor for the maker gives warranty edict,

 

His warranty may cover some but not all of the ailments that you might endure,

A Salesman can’t know what problem can grow in the sale his intentions were pure,

 

In making the sale the benefits we regale so in the best light our product you see,

But never tell lies to the customers eyes be truthful and honest can be,

 

Problem you see is greater then me machines can sometimes be troublesome,

Though it’s not I telling a lie but mere chance your new product be bothersome,

 

My reputation marred by the plight of the car although I be innocent of any cause,

People stressed out have something to shout to think who’s at fault they won’t pause.

 

So evil or not this car salesman lot appears from some point of view,

Falsely accused misunderstood perhaps the opinion should have a review.
