Here is a story
I heard tell at work
Sometimes people take us
For real down home jerks.
“No, no accidents for me”
Said one customer today
As I looked at his history
I said, “No way!”
“Just once I backed up,
Hit someone on the street.”
“Uh huh,” I replied
As he stared at his feet.
“And once upon a time
I crashed into the garage door
“Oh, my!” I replied
As I waited for more.
“But, accidents, no,
Can’t say that I have any”
I groaned to myself,
“What had those 2 been, you ninny”
“And these tickets, here on the motor vehicle report?”
I showed the record, and
Waited for the retort.
“Well, good gracious alive!”
“Is that when they occurred?”
I stare at him now
Can he be this absurd?
“It pays to be honest
With your agent, sir.
For the records are here,
Of that you can be sure.”
“Well, all these things
That are in black & white here
Were caused by the other driver
Let me tell you dear.”
