Good evening,
May I speak to Mr Wells, please,
Mr, err, sorry, can't read the screen…
Mr … Krevin (?) Wells..?

Already you know
That he knows
You know
He doesn't know you.

It's about our new deal:
We're in your area, see,
And have double-glazing
On offer for free…
But sir must understand,
It's for this week only.

No thanks.

But it really is free,
Honestly…

Still 'no thanks', honestly.

Not even one window?
No weathered wood frames
Or need of some panes?
A new set of patio doors perhaps?
For the attic conversion, maybe a Velux?

I live in a brand new bungalow
That hasn't got a patio.
So, no-go:
No thanks…..
No.

No need to be like that, Krevin -
May I call you, Krevin, Krevin?
Or do you prefer Krev, Krevin?
Only trying to do my job, Krev
And earn a crust
As everyone must

Cold-calling's dire in these difficult days
… I take it there's no aquarium or greenhouse to glaze?
