I've been learning how to eBay
I found it sort of tough
to encourage lots of buyers
who would pay enough..
I needed to take some pictures
clear not moodily lit
Then when I'd made my choices
the listing fee gave me a fit! ![]()
So I removed the 'featured' option
kept my images small
didn't use subtitles
but no-one found my stuff at all ![]()
So I put it a book on 'buy it now'
with a price above the rest
It sold straight away
I felt I'd passed a test.![]()
It was a lovely feeling
and the money was very nice
then the very day I sold it
another went for twice the price!! ![]()
So I'll just keep on trying
but not get too upset
I'm learning how to eBay
and you ain't seen nothing yet ![]()

Love the idea of an e-bay poem
You shared my experience with stand up. I died once, I was booked in a working men's club and I was not a club comic. Other gigs I went down well but felt wrung out by the end of the set. So as the day job paid very well I decided to stick with being a performing poet.
best,
Ian
