A Rap! A Rap at my Door.
"The Salesman"
A Rap! A Rap at my Door.
Who could it be.
At this hour of the day.
I hear it again. A Rap!
Dinner has only just been served.
At this hour of the day.
To the door I rush to answer.
An emergancy it might be.
At this hour of the day.
The door flys open to the world.
Who at the threshhold stands.
At this hour of the day.
What to behold but a smile.
The grin of a saleman with his bag.
At this hour of the day.
Wonders of the world he shows to me.
Things that never could I do without.
At this hour of the day.
Only a moment it took for me.
To know my dinner was getting cold.
At this hour of the day.
With a slame the door was shut.
There was a oath at my lips.
At this hour of the day.
Again I now sit at my own table.
The peas are as chill as ice.
At this hour of the day.

"My entry, Argon, which would've been artwork: I listen carefully to everything Morticon has to say, nodding and grinning now and then until he finally gets tired and goes off to plan the kidnapping of somebody or other. Once done, I zip back to the Secret Wizards Lair and quickly construct a miniature duplicate of Morticon, set to replay all his requests to be a wizard. We get the whole elite wizard core together to snicker and make disparaging comments about Morticon, but we all agree to not let a word of this out to anyone, lest we hurt his feelings. Then we put the little Morticon doppelganger next to the talking Argon, Topaz, and Maxl dolls to enjoy them going on as usual, and go to bed feeling smugly superior to everyone."
Willysilver trills, "There once was a salesman named Pete. He was always out walking his beat. He came up to a house and got scared by a mouse, six feet tall from his head to his feet!" |
