Out to make a final sale
A pitch thrown to no avail
Do dungeons have clear glass windows
where life flies by on headphones
to make it look good for quality control
wrap up more deals and on the roll
reems of lines thrown for pitch to catch
whatever deal for the listener to grasp


shades stay pulled on this sales den
on inbound calls
the horror of a duped final dale
a dilemma of sun and hale
all for a noxious pitch
the final sale
freedom curtailed
to make it look good for quality control
wrap up more deals and on the roll

Ah yes, - the sales pitch - yet where would we be without snake oil?

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

As a salesman of over twenty years I enjoyed this quick ripping aside of the showroom curtain.

Most thinking (certainly all feeling) people must get disgusted on occasion with the deceit necessary to justify capitalism.
