Nice But Inept
If a salesperson’s nice but inept,
His promises rarely are kept.
Though true skills he may lack,
He says, “I’ve got your back”
So you think at his job he’s adept.
But whatever he told you was fake,
For he lied or just made a mistake.
Thus your needs won’t be met
Though you thought all was set;
New arrangements you might have to make.
When I think of it, maybe it’s best
As experience seems to suggest,
To complete any deal
With one lacking appeal
But whose help doesn’t make you feel stressed.
