Poems for My Wife

I Can Do Sales

July 10, 2009 By Thomas Ortega II

As weird as it seems,
I have some sales skills
without the slimey
bending of peeps’ wills.

The key that I’ve found
is don’t try too hard,
some potential sales
just shouldn’t move forward.

Finding the right match
is most of the work;
The other part is
not being a jerk.

Moving forward will
be interesting,
as I seek out new
opps for partnering.
