"Hello Mrs.Jones", Congratulations, you have won a free Womens Day cookbook", "All you have to do is subscribe to our one month offer for $12.95 of Womens Day or any other magazine of your choice", "Now how would you like to pay for this?"
I don't need a book,
I don't know how to cook,
I can't pay,
It's just not my day,
I need a job,
Will you give me a job?
Do you like green eggs and ham?
By the way my name is Sam.
I need a drink,
And a man, I think.
Do you have a man?
Or a minivan?
I don't want your book,
Oops my phone just came unhooked.
Author notes
This is what I will say to the next person who calls trying to sell me a book.

This is such a cute reply to the telephone solicitor. Think they might take the hint? I would hope so. Liked the flow and the rhythm, rhyme and message you share in these lines. Happy New Year.

Oh, gosh, I think I just fell in love with you...
Anybody who can make me laugh like this has totally captured my heart. 
I am still laughing and this is getting dangerous 'cause I might have a stoke or something. I am giving you this, right now.
