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.
