aren't you the picture of health

he was
an excellent salesman.
he knew
what to say,
he knew the right words
to praise
and persuade
for each
pending sale
about to be made.
have you lost weight,
he'd ask.
look at you,
the picture of health,
boy do you know how
to fill out
a dress.
you look younger
than
your years, please, tell me, 
how do you do it.
oh, and use my pen,
sign
here.
you can keep it.
