A CHRISTMAS VISIT TO EBAY

'Twas the Night Before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, but me and my mouse

I eagerly sat at my PC with care
Booted it up and my Windows were there

I typed in my screen name, then password and click
I was on EBAY, just me and St. Nick

I checked out the status of all my high bids
I upped the reserve on a gift for the kids

That being done, I was ready to play
So, I keyed in a search for New Listings Today

When what to my wondering eyes should behold?
Just four thousand, eighty-nine items in bold

The Gallery Preview, I scrolled and I browsed
My cravings were heightened, but just not aroused

An old clockwork nodder, a scarce sisal bough
But I needed something to purchase right now!

Who better to buy for and lavish upon?
One stroke on my keypad to Go, Going, Gone!

"Transferring Document" What takes so long?
Five percent, ten percent, what could be wrong?

There was no scheduled maintenance; EBAY's just slow!
Then two items appeared in a Yuletide glow

A pot metal Reindeer which left me bereft
And a Belsnickle Santa with two minutes left

Three pictures loaded, in focus and clean
A Solemn old Santa, the best that I've seen!

He seemed a bit pricey, but who could resist?
I hope there's no snipers, 'cause they get me pissed!

One minute more, there's no time to bid twice
I'll just have to offer my best highest price

Submitting it now. The reserve has been met.
You're the high bidder, wow! Just how good can it get?

Ten seconds, five now, refreshed and reposed
The bidding has ended, this auction is closed!

Good God, what a moment! Comparison's fail
Then all of a sudden a voice, "You've Got Mail"

I opened it quickly, the seller did query
"Do you have intentions to buy that now, dearie?"

My reply would be brief, just a quick cut and paste
"Dear, Snowman@Earthlink" my fast fingers raced

A Postal M.O. No, I know you'll be moved
I'll pay it with Billpoint, it's EBAY approved!

Just one more peek at my rosy cheeked Elf
He's just the right size for my prize mantle shelf

It was late and my eyes were all glassy and pink
When I noticed my Belsnickle gave me a wink!

Then a voice from my speakers, which gave me a fright
"MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, and to ALL A GOOD NIGHT!"
