Can I Help You

...Can i help you ?

The greats shows them what they need

A salesman helped gal with a shoe
When sound of a trumpet broke through
I’m sorry she said
As her face turned red
But salesman laid dead from the pew

Premium Member traveling salesman

once a slick salesman from nice

soaked his suits in tubs of grease

so he slid through town

with nary a frown

till someone called the police.

So overfed, the nice salesman said, 

"You clipped my wings, oh how they bleed, Ed."

Low overhead, so we spent our bread,

On many things, we never needed!

Missin'

Used car salesman didn’t blink:
“None better!” said he with-a-wink
- With the hood open wide
- I'm seein’ inside:
Said: “Be better with an engine … don’t cha’ think?”

Salesman

The salesman packed ashes in bags
sold it as sugar in faraway countries
that he may become millionaire
soon his riches became hot ashes
packed in boxes, dumped in his house

Vladimir was looking for a car pet
  He saw an Afghan he just had to get

    But the salesman didn't see
  The hound's picture tucked in Vlad P.'s wallet

Premium Member Politics

like silver tongue foxes
sweet talking 
cherry pie
Politics
 is the art 
of deception 
trained 
to outwit people
Through the art 
of words
Just like 
a salesman
Selling 
a product
Bought by many
Sold by few

A cunning  man from Cork,
Did train his wife to bark,
When salesman tried to knock,
wife set upon them with a bark,
Drove them far away from Cork!!!

Brainwsh, Ann-Lise

Brainwsh Ann-Lise thoughts are deeds, words are the weeds, the mind collects sometimes, a salesman speaks to in your mind, hard sell his only crime, the pressure aint sublime... brainwash the deed, it chimes.... Don Jonson

Premium Member summer rain

Summer rain
Sidewalk chalkboard eraser
Nature’s dust mop
Gutter gurgling street cleaner
Cold tickles soaking a smile
Awakener of worms
No hands car wash
Childhood puddle dreams
Umbrella salesman
Mud merchant
The hush
Upon the edge of heat

Premium Member Daddys Way

Daddy was left in Osceola, Iowa
Locked into Alzheimer’s unit
Thirty-six miles from home
He had been a Fuller Brush salesman
He knew his way home
He found his way back on a Sunday
Took out his favorite boat
Honored the lake by dying his way in her waters

Premium Member A Propensity to Lie

     A propensity to lie
        ruins a salesman fast   
     Though politicians find
        it helps careers to last  

     Married couples fear
        to put lies to the test   
     But when it comes to children
        best put all lies to rest

Premium Member Fluffily Ruffily Woman

Fluffily Ruffily Woman has an attitude of a hog and a poufy dog.
Fat curls adorned her head front to back, some were pink, others black.
She sat on a matching throne of silk, waiting for salesman who bilk.
They were sent packing by FR Woman whose temper needed no backing.

Premium Member Alien Transportation

He walked around the showroom
       the cars were shining bright
    He told the nearest salesman
       I do not see a bike

    They thought he meant motorcycles
      instead of brand-new cars
    The little green man got offended
      so he pedaled on back to Mars

Premium Member It Rained and Rained

Now politicians play word game.
Saying climate change is to blame,
Implying Nature's got it wrong
And that they were right all along.
So these great powers must impress
And claim they can cure the mess.
For they will play the salesman game 
And lie that they are not to blame.

Premium Member Free Gas

The salesman offered free gas for a year,

   If Gus would buy a brand new Buccaneer!

      Gus exclaimed, "Is this for real?"

         Wifie said, "Forget the deal!

            You are full of gas already, my dear!"

Written by Gail DeBole

Fred Hardtselle, a salesman who died,
On his tombstone had these words inscribed:
"In a seance call me,
for a rather small fee,
I'll find out where you're going, and why!"

Premium Member A Prairie Schooner Please

I would like to purchase a prairie schooner if you please.
The car salesman was brand spanking new.
He had to ask several other salesmen what a prairie schooner was.
None of them knew, so he “Googled” it.
Is this what you mean? He asked, showing her a photo of a prairie schooner.
Yes she said. “And I want it in pink.”
