Root Sales

A little work humor if there is such a thing...


 

Do you know what
root sales are he
kept asking and by
the sound of the
word root I could
somewhat conclude
what a root sale would
be and when he
continued his
explanation of what
root sales are
my mind went into
a jumble and I don't
remember what he
said but I do remember
that it didn't make any
sense to the word root
so I pondered his
theory for days and
tried to grasp what
this type of sales could
be until we sat in
a meeting and he
handed out the agenda
of putting root sales to
work and at the top of
the agenda it was written
"What Are Route Sales?"

Hahahah!!! You've made me think and think, and think so hard about this word "root" and wondered if it should have been the word
"net"; but then when I read the ending of this poem I burst out in great big laughter!!! Thanks so much for the laugh....heeeheee!!!!!!
