The current high bidder, urban-motion, has another auction up with
this in the description:

    I am a 27 year old father with a newborn daughter and bills to
    pay. I work one full time and one part time job totalling 40-60
    hours a week and I love to write in my spare time. To help
    supplement our income I sell a variety of things on Ebay and look
    for creative ways to honestly make a buck. So, I thought that I
    could write original poetry for you and also increase your
    feedback rating at the same time. By purchasing this auction, I
    will write you an original poem and leave you wonderful positive
    feedback.

    The poem will be completely 100% original and will be emailed to
    you within 24 hours of payment. Feedback will be left as soon as I
    receive payment.

    Payment is accepted through paypal only using any major credit
    card.

    Thanks for looking and god bless!!!!!

I am not making this up, you can see it yourself at:
