Door 2 Door Sails

An housewife in need of a poke
Was charmed by a sweet-talking bloke
He gave her what-for
Then dashed out the door
Because he mis-spoke and he's broke

They were called, "Fillerbush" men because it does not take 30-minutes to demonstrate how a brush works. I thought they had been replaced by women hawking Hoover attachments by the time you were born. Aloha 'oe!

You are too young to know this was common when housewives were home to answer a knock on the door, especially during WWII when husbands were away for months, or years. The postman/milkman was good for a quickie, and the Fillerbush Man could make more time, but a pair of missionaries could occupy one until the kids got home from school. Aloha 'oe!
