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!
