We attended an art auction with champagne
Where someone was happy to gain…

While being told she was very smart…
To buy a $10,000,00 piece of art.

I was surprised no one was fainting
When the auctioneer gave the amount of the next painting…

Mohammed Ali’s face…by Peter Max
$19,000.00 plus tax!

The crowd seemed tense
But luckily had common sense,

And passed on this deal
That was promoted as “a steal”

The Captain’s cocktail party was well attended
Where of course more cruising was recommended!

The couple that won first place
Had been 1,372 days!

I would need a lot more!
After this cruise I will complete 234,

But more days I will be filling…
God willing.
