Brother Almost Gets the Bid
Jewel encrusted baby fish from Beautiful Bizarre Magazine
Was gorgeous enough to suit an emperor, Miss Piggy or the queen.
How much do you think she will bring on Ebay? I asked my mother.
Not sure, she replied, better go ask your brother.
Brother bid twenty on the fish, and it zoomed up to twenty-two.
We all held our breath for an hour and a half after he bid twenty-four.
When he noticed they were bidding thousands, there was a roar.
Twenty-four thousand was different than twenty-four dollars for sure.
