Garage Sale Fever

Up at dawn...
Jackets on...
8am is coming fast...
I must hurry...can't be last.
I checked the ad's...I checked it twice...
I made my list...it took half the night.
I've planned my route...
I have no doubt...it will bring me victory!
I  cleaned the car...made lot's of room,
for all the treasures I'll load in soon.
Here we are...the first big sale...
only $1.00 for an inflatable whale.
I don't really need it...that is true...
but at that price I should get 2.
Oh look 3 stacks of mismatched dishes. 
I can cross that off my garage sale wishes.
I must look quick...and not delay...
for soon I must be on my way. 
As bigger sales call out my name...
my husband thinks I've gone insane.

Funny! Made me giggle! I have friends who do just as you said in your poem, a perfect description of the early morning hunt. Great job!
