Abominable Salesman

They lurk around the showrooms, 
Teeth flashing white gravestones shined fit to bust
Pouncing on the unwary
Unsuspecting
Caught looking at the product
Too late
No merry, no surrender
The patter flows outlining why you must buy this or that
Else your home will crumble
Relationships fail
Kids leave
You begin to smile
And the toothy grin falters
Did I say something wrong sir
No matey, you hit it right on the head
See ya
One lost to the catch but plenty more defenceless souls
Flounder in the empty sea
