A Jaw-Dropping Experience

Went to the ROM last weekend The Royal Ontario Museum An absolute and total eye opener for sure We, with our sophisticated smugness With our feeling of superiority Emboldened by today's amazing technological advances Need to stop and take a look back At the achievements of these artisans From centuries gone by Of generations with totally amazing skills Without the aid of today's modern technology To help them in their endeavours Just their hands and their inventive minds The results of which were astounding I stood there in awe It was a total mind blowing experience Everyone needs to take a break and look back It makes us realize what great things The human mind has always been capable of It was a jaw-dropping experience!
