“Timeshare Chicanery” *
Come at once!
Make haste, you’ve won!
For your time,
a handsome sum.
You don’t have to buy,
despite our best try.
You’re free to go.
Just a moment, though.
Sit inside this hotel multi-purpose room,
and listen to our pitch.
You can have a free blender,
even if you ditch.
Let’s share some time,
and time some share.
A few weeks a year,
now that is all we ask.
Are you and your new spouse up to such a task?
Imagine, yourself in a warmer clime,
just sign here,
upon this dotted line.
Floridian, Caribbean,
abroad in some exotic place.
If those aren’t the weeks you want,
you simply trade your space.
Our industry depends on you,
we value your inability to say no.
Once we get a foot in the door,
it’s nigh impossible for you to go.
So, come at once!
Make haste, you’ve won!
You’re luckier than most.
Sign upon the dotted line,
and enjoy a sunny coast.
Two weeks a year,
is all we need,
to puff our bottom line.
We depend on rubes like you,
you are our favorite kind.
