Solicitation

'Hello', I said on my cell phone. And after hearing only silence, I said, ‘one moment please, I would like a chance To feel a cool breeze I need to clear my mind From a constant sneeze’ ‘Oh, I’m ready, who is calling?’, I ask, ‘Fine meats from Kansas City?’ “Yes” he said in such a lively tone. “The best meats one could ever own.” ‘Not for me sir, no matter how good As I am living and just making it alone.’ ‘You’re selling on the phone My yes answer is the key But when my brain’s full I need to set my advice free Patience is a great virtue You’re a patient man indeed But trying to sell to a poor man Is no way to ever succeed.’
