The Auction Poem



Proceed with caution,
Have fun at the auction,
Take time to look at your stuff,
You know that it looks rough,
Pay close attention,
Have fast reactions,
Be clear and understanding,
Watch out the man who is standing,
Think fast,
And take it while it lasts,
Hold your peace,
And say no more,
Be unspoken,
Here's a token,
Trust your heart,
Love you from the start,
Trust in me,
And you will see,
The real me will stand by,
Hold your tears so don't cry,
I will be missed when I die,
I will wave hello instead of goodbye,
So trust in me,
And you will be free,
Be peace at your heart,
I love you with all my heart,
Stand tall,
And have a ball.
