Bidders Beware.

tetrameter sonnet

Bidders Beware.

 

A tiny lady, elderly

Quietly dressed in navy blue.

She’s not as she appears to be.

You may be forced to change your view.

 

She’s here to buy make no mistake

 a regular at auction sales.

You can be sure she’s wide awake.

Extremely sharp she rarely fails.

 

To spot a bargain expertly.

She knows what she’s prepared to pay

and with her well tried strategy

She manages to pay her way.

She will emerge successfully

 from her latest spending spree .

Haha, this is adorable. I love those little old ladies who are real tough nuts inside. Especially when they are Little and Harmless looking, but one soon finds out the hard way that they are most sharp and wicked, when sharing a word with them. This is a great poem and paints a wonderful picture of adventures into human nature.
