NOBODY! could get Nuttin' past HER!
The Ad read: "Finest Alabaster!"
She proudly displayed it,
But time soon betrayed it...
Turned..."Green!"...They just shipped: "Finest Plaster!"
Put up for Auction
Online sale
1 kite like ballon
No strings attached
Currently orbiting way on high
Floating like a helium butterfly
Come back
Come back
Down to earth for i have
sold you for a price
And that said price sadly comes
at you be willing to relinquish
your freedom
But at the end of the day
What is a kite without it's freedom
to float way up high
Bound to earth instead
A tribute to my cyber hero
Your service is never slow
Anything I need big or small
You provide with no fault
Selling my book you're not much help
I've still some left on the shelf
But dark times you got me through
Some Darker than a miner's boot
When my health was at a decline
You delivered to me in no time
Pandemic isolated me from the world
But you gave me the ideas to spread my word
Thank you for keeping me sane
So I can deal with you again and again
Ebay sales, recycled treasures
Make some extra money?
Pay the shipping and lose the profits!
He watches the ebay auction
with greed acrossed his face.
I try to get his attention
but he's staring into space.
He just keeps on "refreshing"
the screen with patient care.
It worries me to see him
when he's got that wicked stare.
It's addictive and I know it.
It pulls you in a spell.
You try to get away from it...
but...is it doing well??
Will we reach the reserve?
Does it look just right?
No, I can't come to bed right now...
My auction ends tonight!!
