Banksy's Stunt

This poem celebrates the creative and unexpected stunt pulled off by the famous street artist Banksy when he set up an indiscreet booth in New York run by a random person and sold his artwork for only $420 over 7 hours - proving that his art is worth much more than that!

A random person ran a booth in New York, No one knew it was from Banksy’s work. Over seven hours, only three people bought, For a total of four hundred and twenty. The artist was so sly and discreet, No one realized what he did achieve. His stunt was quite the surprise, To everyone who opened their eyes. The art sold for such a low price, That no one could believe it twice. Banksy’s work is now worth much more, But his stunt will always be remembered for sure. His art is often thought to be profound, And his stunts have made him renowned. He has made us all think twice about what we see, And that's why we'll always remember Banksy!
