.5. Swell Selling Poem by David Threadgold

Selling things and wheeler dealing
A satisfying sort of feeling
Finding what most find appealing
Not too long and a deal you’re sealing

Box of pans will make a pound
With bits and pieces laid around
Laid your cover on the ground
And dealing starts without a sound

Have in mind a proper price
For home made cream cake by the slice
Wrapping paper bags that’s nice
Heavy things need wrapping twice

Box of bits all 50p
Little bits you give for free
Big bright tickets you can see
Selling fast you want to be

Car boot now has nearly ended
All your prices you defended
Broken china pieces mended
Sold the lot just as intended
