You Won The Auction!

The birthday of my friend drew near, I had a gift in mind And once that thought was crystal clear, That gift I had to find! I Google searched and found eBay, Amazon and Gumtree, But I struck out, until one day, God answered prayers for me! A Stephen Gayford! I was chuffed, My bid was really high, Yet it was something my friend loved, That meant I had to buy! And all at once, the big day came, The auction's final hour, Who'd be the winner of the game To leave the losers sour? But I was ready secretly, A higher bid reserved, I prayed that none could beat me! That thought left me unnerved! The final minute, 'You're Outbid! ' I clicked and bid once more... I raised it up by TWENTY quid, That told THEM all what for! Denis Martindale March 2017. A poem based on the magnificent Stephen Gayford wildlife paintings.
