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.
