Selling Christmas Trees and Roman Candles, 1950
Selling Christmas Trees and Roman Candles, 1950
My older married brother, Willy, asked Kenny and me if we would like to help him sell Christmas trees. We said, “Sure we would love to help.”

Pounding the phones
Hello? Is anyone home?
Trying to make that dollar
While all anyone can do is hollar
Please, shh! Hear me out!

Conservatories and patios
Buzzing power lines
Tearing on th...

The posh bird in the pin-striped suit

That I was the perfect candidate.
She swallowed all the usual lies
And failed to see through my disguise.
I love the confidence I can win
With a false CV and a cheeky grin.
I did it babe – I got the sale!
I went and spun this guy a tale
Of w...
