Statue of David

Hi there, the lady in chartreuse green I'm on display, a performance to be seen Glaring eyes and a sculpted body A handsome charm my features embody If blood flows in me, I'm the man of your dream Second only to the sculptor who created me. My name is David, a favored Biblical hero Created by the young, artistic Michelangelo A masterpiece of ancient Renaissance Standing naked in the aura of splendid ambiance Exhibiting strength, art, and romance Bearing each advance and timid glance. Ladies and gentlemen please keep moving In the public square there is another me Though I am the authentic, the original The copy, a replica, looks almost identical. The lady in green let me tell you something You look beautiful, quite smashing indeed! I'll hold a private showing just before closing The guards can't see us when I flip the switch We'll have just enough time to steal a kiss. August 4, 2017 Artwork--sponsored by Lewis Raynes
