Salesman's Lullaby

I thought it was a rug.

I thought it was a fluffy pillow.

Then I thought it was a fluffy pillow with dripping wet fangs

and a jaw like a bear trap.

It might've been a crocodile, a crocodile with kangaroo legs.

That thought came when it sprung up with the speed of a missile

and those ghastly incisors latched onto my arm.

All to sell 10 bucks worth of clementines.
