FiloFRENZY!!!!

I have a little secret

that only you will know.

It isn't about alcohol

the horses or skid row.

It has to do with binders,

not some old skanky moll.

You want to know my secret? 

I've bought a Metropol!

I saw it there on eBay.

T'was true love at first sight!

I only had 2 minutes

to forge an eBay fight.

The going price was £40.

The other bidders keen.

And against my better judgement
Bet a thousand and fifteen!

When everything was over 

I glanced at who had won.

My username was flashing.

My God, what have I done?

Although I was victorious,

I felt that I would die

So much for just one Filofax

in some hasty impulse buy!

So onwards then to PayPal

to transfer all my dough.

The gas money and school fees

disappeared in one great show.

To pay for my black binder,

it was all that I could see.

I guess we're eating mince again.

Who needs a new kidney?

One push of the return key

and ownership was mine.

But now I had to wait two weeks

for the package to arrive.

With baited breath I waited

what seemed like twenty years.

Then hearing the postie's whistle

was like music to my ears!

I ran up to my postbox

and grabbed the box real vicious

and walked away, me muttering

like Gollum  ' Oh My Precious'!

I seemed like I had rabies as

I ripped it with my teeth

and fumbled with the bubble-wrap

to see what lay beneath.

And there it fell before me

upon the table there.

I couldn't quite believe it

and fell back on the chair.

For in this long sought package

that nearly sent me broke,

was not a pocket Metropol

but a mini pink Baroque!!!
