Really, Really Limited! Poem by Denis Martindale

Sometimes a painting's chosen for
A limited release,
A canvas copy to adore,
A really special piece...
Such that collectors rally round,
To study what was done,
Perhaps in silence, not a sound,
Amazed, yes, every one...

Or on TV, the sale was set,
Just like a free-for-all,
Until the highest price was met
That seemed a miracle!
Just thirty-five, no more, no less,
Each signed for folks like me,
Authentic, with no need to guess,
Despatched so carefully!

Then, on my wall, for all to view,
My pride and joy right there,
It's true, it's numbered twenty-two,
Yet it's beyond compare...
The artist's name so clearly seen,
So others can invest,
Just pay the price, if just as keen,
That your home could be blessed!
