Snake

I know what I heard….

You are a snake

Peddling your “oil”

In the hope that another desperate fool

And their money will be parted

Thing is though

Your wares sound great

Yes I’m really keen

What’s that ?

You can do a deal ?

Fantastic….

I’ll take that then

Oh that’s not in your notes

It’s not written down

But it’s what you said

We had a long involved conversation

Ah ok

The deal is off

In fact you are showing me the door

I notice you don’t deny what you said

Because of course you can’t

Snake oil salesman

I’m better off avoiding you

But what you are selling

Sounds like a dream come true….
