Flash Fiction Friday 55: The Salesman


A clever young salesman I know
Took a trip down to Old Mexico
Those ladies swooned quick
At his manners so slick
And came back with one of them in tow

That same salesman now
Has a deeply-furrowed brow
From all of his worrying
And all of his hurrying
Because he is hen-pecked (and how!)

    Hey, neat! We both did poetry for our Friday 55.
    Mine doesn't rhyme, but on the bright side, it does mention a whole lot of snot.

    Thanks for another Friday 55!
    Mine's here. :)

You may put in your 2¢ worth, but I'll only pay you a penny for your thoughts.
