The Snake Oil Salesman

The salesman said: "You know, this cream
Is the sort of thing of which women dream.
It's multi-purpose in so many ways,
It'll help to brighten up your days,
Supposing you've got cellulite,
Just rub the cream in every night;
Soon the dimples will have gone,
And life for you can then move on.
Or maybe batwings make you sad;
If so, this cream will make you glad;
Just rub it one and you will see
How firm and shapely arms can be.
Wrinkles, too, will disappear,
When this wonder cream comes near..
Just rub it in each day and night,
And they will soon be put to flight.
How much is it? I hear you say;
Millions throughout the world would pay
A fortune for what I'm offering you,
So cheap you won't believe it's true.
Just fifty pounds, not a penny more,
But it will not be long before
The price shoots up, as everyone
Is clamouring for it till there's none
Left on the shelves; so buy it now.
You don't think it's genuine?"  "What a cow!"
