First Time At the Met
We took our grandson to the Met,
His very first time there,
A special day with him alone,
A circumstance quite rare.
We rode the bus from where we live,
To him an urban treat
And bought a New York pretzel
Just to make the day complete.
He’s almost 10 and reads a lot
So what he chose to see
Were Greek and Roman galleries
Filled with antiquity.
The subject matter fit right in
With books he races through.
Egyptian mummies also made
The cut for us to view.
Ironically, when passing by
The knights and swords display,
He had no interest, though his dad
Adored that in his day.
It’s wonderful to get to share
Such cool amazing art
With son and grandson, even if
It happened years apart.
