The Glib Salesman
so wily and smooth, he boasts
he can make huge profits
among Sahara Bedouins
selling them mounds of sand;
so shrewd and suave, he brags
he can convince Eskimos
right in their igloos to buy
from him expensive tons of snow;
now so quiet and cold, he still
touches those he outsmarted,
even in his grave, in the ground,
with the sand, 'neath the snow.
