Ode to the Salesman
To be a Salesman
You must be where others haven’t thought to go
You must pitch balls no one has thought to throw
To be a Salesman
You must read between the lines
You must see what is surreal and what is sublime.
To be a Salesman
You must hear the tone of “No”
You must follow the code of the close.
To be a Salesman
You must speak “The Game”
You must remain unchanged.
But truth be told
And I’ll guarantee
This deal is Gold
You’ll hear from me
I’ll call you back
Then you will see
If we lose track
Remember me
Here’s my card
First one’s for free
Oh, I tried too hard
That’s just me
My plight in life
I hope you’ll see
I have faith
We’ll meet again
To thyself be true.
Ode to the salesman!

I keep trying to decide if you're a salesman-- but, I don't think so.
I tried to be in sales, but I'm only convincing when I believe in what I'm pushing. My first and second marriage is proof that even after the sale is complete one can find himself regretting have sold a descent product to such an undeserving buyer.
Indeed. ;)
