Salesmen Poems | Examples


Premium MemberSnake 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
  Such a pair of stubborn mules, those two
    Let's stick their dunderheads in fertilized mule-asses

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

Premium MemberCar 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 will love to own 
To your driveway - just pick up the phone 

Yes the car salesmen are singing no sale blues 
Covid 19 for them has been really bad news
If you have extra money coming your way 
Would you mind buying a new car today?

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 the incentive.

A knowledge of the products adds
To what they have to tell you.
A pleasant personality
Adds much to what they sell you.

It’s nice to leave a store and feel
That you’ve been taken care of.
A customer who’s satisfied
Gets more than he’s aware of.

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 
And i smell like old bars and good money
With a tattered old suitcase in hand
I try to get you to understand
You don't have to sell your soul
That isn't my goal
Just buy some new high quality oven mits
and don't throw a fit

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
