The Pitch

Want someone who’s good?
Can help your company make sale?
I could sell milk to a cow,
and for free I’d chuck in the pail.

I can make a pigeon buy scraps,
a snake part money for venom;
I am the silver-tongued cheque with a grin
who persuaded jeans to shop for denim.

So, you need some success?
Change that red line to black?
A leopard would order spots from me,
I’m not a run of the mill old hack.
