Sufficient

Before there’s an auction,

I visit the site

To check out the artwork

For my own delight.

 

I don’t plan on bidding,

With prices so high,

But look to see what,

In my dreams, I might buy.

 

Today, saw a sculpture

By someone whose art

Is familiar and always

Brings joy to my heart.

 

He’s Tom Otterness – please

Google him for a peek

At the various people

He sculpts – so unique!

 

For a mere $20,000

The bidding will start.

Well-worth it, for anyone

Savvy ‘bout art.

 

Yet I’ll be content with

The chance that I got

To get close enough so that

I got a great shot.

 

The photo’s sufficient,

Right there in my phone; it

Provides the same smile

As if I did own it.
