Pre-Auction

In my neighborhood, there is A well-known auction space Where items are displayed before The auction will take place. It’s open to the public, so Today we went to see Some very famous songs composed By Freddie Mercury. So cool to see, in his own hand, With doodles on the page, The lyrics which I’ve heard A thousand times, which still engage. Why he crossed out “Mongolian” Is anybody’s guess. Was “Bohemian” with “Rhapsody” More likely to impress? The auction house had other Special things to gaze upon Before the day the auctioneer Says, “Going, going, gone!”

Sounds like a really neat brush with history you had. I'm happy for you. I loved the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. It was so well done.
