This week’s picture took me back many years to my time as a car salesman when I worked for a Citroen dealership and sold lots of 2CVs, or Deux Che’vaux as they’re known. I also owned several of these quirky little French cars and often feel tempted to get one again!

Greetings madam,
welcome sir
Come on in
choose a car

Madam this colour
nice don’t you think?
Not for you?
then maybe pink.

Over there
that one, blue.
I’m certain sir
t’was made for you.

Madam,
so much luggage space
Imagine the shopping
you’ll fit in this place
.
Under the hood sir
a beautiful sight
Litres of muscle
to power your flight
.
Here ma’am a mirror
terribly chic
Perfect when giving
your make up a tweak
.
Why are you leaving?
I’ve more to show
Kind sir, dear madam
Please don’t go!

Well Keith, You are an excellent salesperson. You had all the benefits for the buyer right at the tip of your words. Shows your knowledge and passion for what you were offering. It was not sales but a relationship. Well penned. I enjoyed the reading😊

I bet you made a lot of sales! That’s a brand of car I don’t think we have in the U.S. Fun story and I like the “carnival barker” atmosphere you gave it.

Thanks, Lisa. Sadly you missed out on one of the loveliest little cars ever made! Carnival Barker; thanks to you and Google for introducing me to a term I’ve never before heard!

You’re very welcome, Keith. Sorry to have missed out on that brand of car. Happy you know the term now. I remember walking through the carnival as a kid and they were always calling out.

Indeed, 5 doors, a roll-back roof, removable seats for roadside picnics, a 602cc air-cooled engine and it can be driven across a ploughed field carrying a basket of eggs without breaking any!
