Not The Way To Win A Trip
Shout it to all, hill over dale.
Today I won a trip in the mail.
Off to Alaska. All expenses paid.
Sounds like I have got it made.
I called the #,—- all excited.
He wanted info. I didn’t fight it.
He said I had a meeting to go to.
What else did I have to go through?
Two hours of my precious time.
Then, the trip would be all mine.
It was a time share. Imagine that.
They wanted my business. It’s a fact.
The two hours stretched to four.
I was ready to walk out the door.
We said “No!” a hundred times.
They were kind, but had set minds.
Finally, they wore us down.
They offered the best deal in town.
Now, we were ready for our trip.
It was all supplied in a little kit.
A hundred hoops to jump through.
Really limited on when we flew.
It took many calls to get it set.
Have we sacrificed enough yet?
We finally got the trip to Alaska.
If you ever go I won’t ask ya.
Cause, if your trip is like ours ,
you won’t want to go that far.
The trip really sucked big time.
Surely, the worst trip we could find.
Now we owe our lives to a time share.
I hope this makes you all aware.
It is a trap well worth avoiding.
In the end you’ll feel like voiding.
