Parents For Sale

Well if you haven’t heard it yet then you weren’t listening to Contessa this afternoon. There is a man who put up his parents for sale. How do you describe your parents in an ad to garner best responses? What are they worth? Are they to be considered used, and if so to what extent, well used, hardly used.

Parents For Sale

People put all things up for sale

An old football card, piece of furniture, the tooth of a whale

Retailing them electronically

Ebay, Craig’s List, Click Bank, a whole litany

Now today was a first

This 51 year old man was offering the worst

Selling his parents for the best offer

Father smiled at it and so too his mother

Only his other siblings had nothing to say

Refusing to contact him since that day

So Contessa told his parents why not

Arrange to sell him too, he’s not the only child they got

Lucky for him he’s got understanding parental kin

Especially putting up with their grownup son’s unwritten sin
