Item Six, A Bag Of Nothing

Item Six, A Bag Of Nothing Next is item six, a bag of nothing, who'll give me an opening price A bag of nothing sitting on your shelf would look rather nice Come on give me a bid, oh is that five dollars I hear But surely I can get more for this perfectly formed sphere You won't get addicted to it and it'll never give you a rash In fact this bag of nothing could save you a lot of cash Your kids won't fight over it and it doesn't gather dust Can I say that this bag of nothing is an absolute must Item six won't go out of fashion or lie broken on the floor Is that ten dollars you're offering, I was hoping for a little more Your neighbour cannot buy one that's got more power It won't wilt or its petals fall off as happens with flowers Doesn't need to be filtered, chlorinated, skimmed or pumped And it will never have to be carted off in a hired truck to the dump Fifteen dollars bid from the man over there called Sean That lady in red's offering twenty, going, going, gone!
