The Verbose South Street Suit Salesman

The Verbose South Street Suit Salesman I’ve been around, Mac I’m sharp as a tack and I can keep track Of 200 suits hung neat on the rack What colors we have and even the black It’s also a fact that I’ve got a knack For what ties to use when business is slack I can pick out the shirt to go with the tie To wear with the suit and pick out the shoes To go over the socks with the color I choose Come here, young man, you’ve got nothing to lose What’s your name, well hi there, Clem You short on cash, here’s an ATM for 100 bucks, this jacket will fit you like a glove This design was created as an act of love Try it on, go ahead, now don’t you look great I swear it’s like bait to get you a date But you must buy this tie to complete the match When you walk out the door, you’ll be quite a catch Now go see Luigi, he’ll measure you up There’s shirts in that corner and belts over there Get rid of those shoes you want wing tips to wear Here’s my card, just mention my name I’ll slip you a shirt if you bring someone here Until I see you again, always dress well Those jeans are for hayseeds , they don’t ring a bell Your very best rhyme all the time Contest Sponsored by Brenad Chiri August 31, 2017
