Do I Want to Buy a Truck?

Hello, there! How are you, today? What would you say to trading in your truck on a brand new 2008 model if we give you top dollar on your present truck? Can we make an appointment for you in our showroom?

A truck? A truck? A brand new truck?
The one I have is really fine.
I do not need a newer one.
The loan I'd get would not be fun.

You may need to get the sale
but your pitch is going to fail.
I'm going to hang up now and smile
and maybe even laugh awhile.

Goodbye, farewell,
Don't call again.

Haven't had such fun
since don't know when.

Author notes

That felt so good. I'm really going to do this.

I always wanted to say something clever back to a solicitor. When you say no, they just keep right on talking don't they? You practically have to hang up in their face to get your point across! This was a fun read! Best of luck to you!

HAHAHAHAHA!!
Oh, I am catching my breath... This is so funny, and yes, I am going to do this for reals the next time I get a salesperson on the phone. Love your ending, it caps it off so nicely. Jeez, what fun here!

Nice rhyming, and the lines "i'm going to hand up now and smile, and maybe even laugh awhile", that made me laugh out loud, genious lines, nice rythym and rhyming and humor, ace

... This was very strange... I found it amusing though. I would personally love to buy a truck! An old beat up dodge even! Good luck in the contest.
