Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Big John

Triceratops fossil, Big John,

Found on a South Dakota hill

Was auctioned - going, going, gone,

Price tag - seven point seven mill.

Because Big John was found on land

Not public but owned privately.

Highest bidder sale was not banned.

A private art collection be

Where the dino bones will display

In an elitist artsy pose,

Not in a scientific way.

Naturally came, expensive goes.

Big John got dug up and now is

Getting bid up in the art biz.
