HUMEROUS HAIKU # 4

 

The toughest job that

I ever had, was selling

Doors, from door-to-door

SOMETIMES MARKETING

Sometimes marketing

Really confuses me

For example “a free gift”

Aren't all gifts free?

I WAS SUSPICIOUS WHEN HE SPOKE

I was suspicious when he spoke

As he sounded like a con man

Because if Teflon is really non stick

How does it stick to the pan? 

HARD SELL

 

A salesman tried it on with my wife

And tried really hard to impress her

With talk of his Vegan noodles, but

She wasn’t fooled by the impasta

FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION

 

Failure is not an option

The salesman told me

But he didn’t say it came

As standard did he

THE DOOR OPENED AND I SAID

 

The door opened and I said “Ah madam

Can I show you this carpet sweeper”

“No” she replied “and don’t call me madam

You make me sound like a brothel keeper”
