Winners Beware by BethShelby

"Congratualtions! You have won
a week's vacation in the sun.
The number from your card, we'll need
to rush your winnings with all speed."

"
But you just said the week was free.
You'll get no credit card from me.."

"It's just a little booking fee.
A timeshare too, you'll have to see."


"Forget it! I don't want your trip,
and let me give you one more tip.
Don't call again on this damn phone.
Your ripoff tactics are well known."


"But Sir, you do not understand,
this deal we offer is quite grand."
No obligation to buy time.
Our company's guilty of no crime."


"I said, I do not want to go.
Can you not see that no means 'NO!'?
You're causing me to lose my cool.
I think you take me for a fool.

You say you're giving trips away,
and when some sucker goes to stay,
you'll twist his arm to make him buy
an empty dream up in the sky.

And once you have him firmly hooked,
he'll find the week he wants is booked.
And when he tires, and needs to sell,
you jerks will tell him,'Go to hell.'

I'm hanging up. Don't call again.
And now I need to count to ten,
I must calm down before I croak.
You've almost given me
a stroke."

Author Notes
My writing club gave us this picture for inspiration.
I find telemarkets who try to tell me I've won something very anoying. My apologies for a couple of curse words. This guy looks like he might be usind some. My apologies also to anyone who has a timeshare and loves it. I have friends desparately trying to get rid of their timeshare and no one will take them.
