Hooray! Poem by Denis Martindale

Hooray for eBay, what a friend! And not just in the things to send,
But discounts that came now and then, so I'm thankful once again.
How many items made me glad upon receiving what I had,
Unpacked in minutes to rejoice that I was wise to make each choice?
Comparing prices here and there, when some were bargains or just fair,
Some quite unique and hard to find, and special ones that come to mind.
No wonder that I'll spend my time, in search of items thought sublime!
eBay's for this, eBay's for that, eBay's where the action's at!

Can I count up the money saved? The times full prices had been waived?
The sellers who came to my aid, beyond the times that they got paid?
How many items have I bought, as if without a second's thought?
As without a single doubt, just praising God and paying out?
Christmas and Easter and much more, throughout the year, and that's for sure,
I'll buy from eBay and wait for delivered items at my door!
No wonder that I'll spend my time, in search of items thought sublime!
eBay's for this, eBay's for that, eBay's where the action's at!

20 years ago, I started my journey on eBay.
Wow, those 20 years have gone so fast!
