The Salesman of Certain Eases: A Rude Rhyme

The salesman of certain eases

Does pretty much as he pleases

With whatever chances he seizes,

And the frivolous rhyme words he teases.

But if his honey-babe so much as sneezes

He freezes,

Embraces her tightly and squeezes

Till she wheezes,

Protects her from insolent breezes,

Does searches on several diseases,

And counts up the gods he appeases,

Even Jesus.

Robert MacLean is an independent filmmaker. His The Light Touch is on Amazon Prime, Tubi and Scanbox, and his 7-minute comedy is an out-loud laugh. He is also a novelist, a playwright, a blogger, a YouTuber, a film reviewer, a literary critic, and a stand-up comic poet. Born Toronto, PhD McGill, taught at Canadian universities, too cold, live Greece, Irish citizen. Committed to making movies that don't matter. No brains, but an intellectual snob.

Pleasure and amusement—one has to stand for something!
