78 Words!

I wrote about an auction last Saturday…was I seeing into the future?

.

.

I desperately wanted that fancy plant pot, whatever the price. 

The auction was packed, standing room only. Being short, I had difficulty seeing ahead. 

The bidding started. 

‘£50’, I shouted waving my hankie in the air.

Someone else bidded, then me then her then me then….sold to the gentleman with the handkerchief!

My delight was short lived as I’d inadvertently bought myself a chamber pot.

At least it’ll save me walking to the bathroom during the night!

*In case you are unfamiliar with the term; CHAMBER POT : a bedroom vessel for urination and defecation
