73 words

I’m often asked why I don’t write many poems. Well, you are about to find out!

,

Greetings madam.

welcome sir.

Come on in,

choose a car.

.

Madam just look,

all of this space.

Imagine the shopping

you’ll fit in this place!

.

Under the hood sir,

what a sight,

litres of muscle

to power your flight

.

Here ma’am a mirror,

terribly sheek.

Perfect when giving

your makeup a tweak.

.

This colour’s ceruleun

it’s you, don’t you think?

If not, by the way,

they make it in pink.

.

No? Oh well.

        You were a thoughtful car salesman, making sure the customer saw the value they required.

      I actually worked as a sales trainer for a car manufacturer!

    Delightful flight of sales fantasy. He’s probably not pushy enough, though.
