Beware of the Dog

The death of a salesman.

Beware of the Dog

 

By Elton Camp

 

The door-to-door salesman was working a street

Hoping that some interested party he would meet

He saw a sign way up at the end of the driveway

Until he got close he couldn’t see what it did say

 

“Beware of vicious dog” the sign did sternly warn

Added, “Several trespassers, to tiny bits he has torn.”

Just then the salesman heard a deep, angry growl

The sign he had seen too late so he began to howl

 

Although the salesman ran just as fast as he could,

It was too late and didn’t do him even a bit of good

The German Shepard over the fence on him too fast

So it turned out that that sales call came to be his last
