The Internet Auction
A poem by CJ

This Internet auction is quite an addiction
There are minutes to go and now time’s a restriction.
I’ve just placed a bid on an item most curious
If someone outbids me I’m gonna be furious
The time goes quite slowly, the seconds are ticking
And how many times have I refreshed by clicking?
But the end is in sight, and champagne I’ll be swiggin’
Damn! I’ve just been outbid by a welder from Wigan!
