Auction Man

A Poem by Benjamin

Auction Man


Come by and buy the wares

to wipe away your cares!

Right here right here this item

this eye gem, fine piece of work

does not have secrets that lurk!

Take it home, take it to rome, take it anywhere!


You sir! In the front, in the front, stand up!

Get a move on with those feet, see a feat of wonder,

one to tear this world asunder, this is no blunder!


THIIISSS is it dear gentlemen, kind folk,

let it soak into your eyes, buyers and liars all!

Call out, call forth, call loud my crowd!

Do not have fears, dears, this creature of the night

Does not bite or fight but has might beyond dreams!

It seems it has begun! Do we have the starting bid?


Do-I-have-a-fifty-do-I-yes-do-I-have-a-sixty-do-I-

do-I-yes-I-see-a-sixty-sixty-going-once-sixty-going-I-have-

a-seventy-yes-I-do-seventy-going-eighty-five!-ladies-and-gentlemen-

I-have-an-eighty-five-going-once-one-hundred!-I-cannot-handle-it-

I-haveaonehundredtwentygoingoncegoingtwicegoingthreetimestwohundred!

hm, I think this is a great start! I think you could focus it more by having a definite product that he is selling~ If i were you I would think about all those advertisements on tv that are complete bullshit, trying to sell someone a lotion that will make you younger, a pair of pants that will make you look skinny, that kinda thing
