Poison Salesmen

Zeal the Zealot just made some poison,
and he was proud of it as can be.
He advertised the poison for all the world to see.
He touted that his would kill all the mice and rats,
but, promised no harm to the helpful bats.

Quincy the Quiet made some poison brew
and he was proud of his work too.
He advertised

Snake Oil Salesmen

The Duke and the Dauphin 
    two snake-oil salesmen in 'Huck Finn'
  chased by folks brandishing paddles with nails
    ridden plum out of the county on a rail... 

  Joseph R. Biden and Donald J. Trump
    peddling their rancid cologne to the masses

The Sale

He tried to make a quick sale
The more he tried the more he fail
He held his head down
And felt like a clown
Then start selling through his E-mail

Car Salesmen Are Singing the Blues

Car salesmen are singing the no cars sold today blues 
Lamenting this pandemic because baby needs shoes 
On commission having to pay back their pithy draw 
These salesmens’ feelings are bruised mighty raw 

Come get your Fords and Chevies today 
Subarus are safest cars in every kind of way 
We can bring a car you

Salesmen

A salesman sometimes helps you out,
But often he does not.
If you are clueless, what he knows
Can add to quite a lot.

Yet there are clerks so in your face
That they become intrusive;
And others hide like jungle creatures,
Rare and most elusive.

The perfect guy or gal in sales
Is patient and attentive.
Commission may be why, but we
Should seem like

Traveling Salesmen

Revolution is knocking at the garden gate
With pitchforks and spoons to guard against fate
The people drench me with milk and holy water
And stare at me as if i slept with their daughter
I stand in white suit and a red tie
I look like a half decent guy
My hairs slicked back and my tongue coated in honey

Present Day Snake Oil Salesmen

Present-Day Snake Oil Salesmen

By Elton Camp

In the past, hucksters came, patent medicine to sell
“It will cure all human ills,” is what they would yell 
“While supplies last, only a dollar a bottle,” the call
“It’ll cure cancer, rheumatism, dropsy—one and all.”

Now all kinds of quack remedies we can easily get
They are brought into our homes through

Door-To-Door Snake Oil Salesmen

"Let's spread the word of the Lord!" they exclaimed
"Knocking on doors - surely none could be blamed!"
   It's simply a matter of time
   Up the walls we will climb
Our inevitable ire will thus be inflamed

The Three Salesmen

Three salesmen on a trip,
Stopped at this hotel to take a dip,
One of them quipped,
Before he had sipped,
On his wine,
So fine, 
My sweet Carolyn,
Such a fine place to dine!

Taking a room for three,
Thirty dollars to be,
For the night , you see,
Joe, Jack, and Jim,
Their money kinda slim,
Ten dollars a piece between em,
No inflation,
In their nation!
