Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

A Museum Gift Shop

A museum worth its salt
Has a gift shop that is cool.
If it doesn’t, I’d find fault
And be let down, as a rule.

For when I’ve seen all the art
Or the science that’s displayed,
I will often do my part
‘Til a purchase has been made.

Be it jewelry or a print
Or a postcard or a tee,
In the shop I will not stint
On a gift or treat for me.

That’s providing, like I said,
That there’s special funky stuff.
If there isn’t, well, instead,
I will stomp out in a huff.

But today, I had some luck – 
Bought some earrings and a plate,
For I’ll gladly spend a buck
When some quirky things await.

Andrea Dietrich October 17, 2017 at 6:08 PM Good fun, Ilene. I wish I lived where you are so I could visit lots of cool places. You are very fortunate to have these experiences. I think I have been able to view only four or five times some really great museums!
