A WHISPER IN DEVILS EAR

A WHISPER IN DEVILS EAR You have missed one, he’s over there Now’s just the right time to approach And a need for flattery, not reproach You surely can clearly see his despair Come on, it’s just another candidate Sign him up, you have that contract And even an old nibbed pen, in fact So, before he leaves, do not hesitate It must be at least the millionth time Surely such prompting’s not required Of course I realise even you get tired But striking the deal feels so sublime Your role is to make tempting offers They will succumb, you know it well Remember there is still room in Hell And plenty of gold still in the coffers Your numbers were down this year You should know your job by now We will reach your target somehow By just a whisper in the Devil’s ear
