A GUESSING SALESMAN ….!

English Poetry |
A guessing salesman ….!
John, a counter salesman badly wanting a job,
To the store owner, about his acumen, boasted a lot,
Said, he can guess from customer’s face what he came for
Even before customer naming the product he came for
The owner of the Dept Store amused & interested,
gave John a chance to prove what he projected ……
A lady entered the store for purchase,
John came forward & looking at her, said,
“Madam, I know you love your husband, he’s a gem,
And you have come here to buy for him a shaving cream”
She said “Thank you very much for reminding,
I wish I could buy a shaving cream for him,
But the fellow is a poet, sports a useless beard,
Though for now, I want a first-rate bath soap for men,
Which can tempt him to take bath lured by its fragrance.
Next time I hope I come to buy for him, the shaving cream”
John a bit disheartened looked at the owner,
And said softly “Sir, I wasn’t far away in my guess”
That the owner smiled, nodded & heartily employed John,
Is now anybody’s guess….

Thanks for your early comment before the second visit of the lady to the store for shaving cream. :-).
Presently it seems you are very busy in your assignment & work and find less time for poetry. Don’t worry, have patience, poetry will find time for you.
