HAPPILY DISCONTENT

HAPPILY DISCONTENT

One may wish to own a JW Turner
The art of art is the skill of knowing
And recognising every good earner

The online market for art is growing
Yet it is more my greed I must quell
One needs a real space for showing

With my few fake Masters left to sell
I found a gallery, as credibility counts
For a half day only, but it served well

A hundred pounds, the anger mounts
And was a scam, that expensive rent
But the cheque of course will bounce

Now my payment has finally been sent
I’m seeing myself as happily discontent
