The Salesman. Have I got something for you!

The Salesman. Have I got something for you!

A Poem by andrew mitchell

The Salesman. Have I got something for you!
Gather around people.
I have something great to show you.
Now that I have your undivided attention
on removing the cloak,
I present to you ......
the Time Machine to the past!
Get your tickets!
I will take you back in time.
Visit places! Visit old friends long gone!
Yes! You will!
See your lovers past
now laid to rest
brought back to life.
Tickets please!
A once in a lifetime opportunity!
Roll up! Roll Up!
All those times, those moments special,
moments cherished you still desire.
Relive your favourites.
Fix those damn mistakes.
Rewrite history,
change your life of fate
you live today, miserably!
Call it a date with your past!
Okay! Sign up!
Tickets please!
It's all guaranteed. Here are the papers! 
Just sign here. You'll see!
To seal the deed! Hurry!
Ha! Ha!
Here's an idea folks!
Collect your lottery tickets past
and come back a winner
living in style cos you knew the numbers!
I say again!
with my pen just sign.....
the dotted line.
Travel with me,
enjoy your love ones,
rewrite your history;
they await your knock!
Release the shackles from your mind.
Let us fly to your precious loves.
Its only fifty payments of four hundred dollars!
Cheap! Cheap!
A trip of a lifetime
to yesterday past.
Undo the past with the new
change your past your future 
Relive those yesterdays back in love!
Adieu adieu!
I'll even throw in today's aftershave for men
to capture the women they desire, lustfully!
For women a new vacuum cleaner!
Yes! Free! Free!
It's all in this bottle!
Don't pass this up!
Oh! By the way do you have the time?
I've got to see the Smiths.
Encyclopedias you know!
Just between you and me!
Here's my card!
