With the six hundred fifty-two new toys donated The Construct a Kids' Christmas staff was elated, And their tables were laden with silent auction offers In hopes that the bidders would soon fill their coffers. The guests were all blingy with glitter galore And nibbled on fancy hors d'oeuvres by the score. Then the auctioneer shouted, "Let the bidding begin!" And the live auction started with big bids coming in. One thousand, two thousand, three thousand in cash Soon began filling up Santa's Christmas stash. And what with the raffles and other things on hand, The non-toy donations soon reached fifteen grand. When the evening's activities were finally over, A large man arrived in a bright, red Land Rover.
