Break bad ‘n -a bid it anna bump it anna level um bum,
Twenny dolla bid ‘n all in an all done?
Well there’s five and twenny gimme twenny five!

Going once, going twice, Sold!! But don't make us guess, Rob, "inquiring minds" want to know what she purchased! You really capture the atmosphere of this auction and I like the jargon. Regarding the Simon & Garfunkel song "Richard Cory," would you believe I don't think I've heard this one. And I'm a big fan of theirs. I'll have to look for it on youtube. Thanks for the tip! Love, Carolyn
