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.

This is so pleasing and makes me wish I could do it again.

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!
