The Ten Million Dollar Chinese Bowl

The Ten Million Dollar Chinese Bowl By Elton Camp Asian art collectors were extraordinary excited A rare Chinese imperial ceramic bowl ignited Asia's fine art market has exploded last decade It was expected for the bowl millions to be paid From the Northern Song Dynasty it's pale green And is the only one of its type that's ever seen Museums & individuals are thrilled over the piece So astronomically the price is likely to increase Buyer will be one who about money doesn't care Perhaps a mainland Chinese or western billionaire The auctioneer held the bowl up and asked for cash Out of his hand it plunged with a sickening crash Tiny fragments were scattered all over the floor And it was worth ten million bucks no more
