The Greeter At a Museum

The Greeter at a Museum I am prepared to perform my mindless task when they open the doors at ten am and when the visitors enter I recall my preamble and it goes like this Good morning, folks where are you from sorry no cokes or food beyond this point well hello grandmother, I love your dress don’t you look hot I mean that in a flattering way unless your not hot that is Wow, I remember Kent, MA I used to live at Loggins Way did you know Marth and Faye, oh Marth is dead and Faye ran away with a younger man, a poet you say it doesn’t surprise me she always had a yen for younger men enjoy the art and if you need anything my name is Barte with an e at the end it was my mothers maiden name you see oh your name is Wolfe with an e at the end nice meeting you until then Hi there, what a handsome child you have he favors you I'd like to add his creviced chin and ruddy cheeks add character to this winsome lad Hi folks, you need a lift ,oh your’e from England its an elevator here in the USA let me direct you to that spot cheerio and all that rot Hi can I help you can I help you sir no I can’t youv’e been here before well oh well I bet you don’t know where the President fell you were right behind him when he took that spill but you didn’t see me on that day I was right behind the exhibit display to keep an eye on creeps like you who don’t know the importance of my job so leave me now artistic snob oh I love to greet and I love to meet knowing where the his and her bathrooms are I can even tell you where to park your car I think I found my niche in life as to the who what where and why but if perchance you know this place when you see me walk on by *Dedicated to all the art interns at museums
