Get Thee To the Whitney

Get thee to the Whitney! It’s the one thing you should do If you’re in New York, to see The kitchen made by Liza Lou. It’s a life-sized recreation Of a room each person needs, But the fridge and stove and table Have been topped with shiny beads. Every detail’s been considered In constructing what you’d find In an average household’s kitchen And amazingly designed. There’s the Tide and there’s the Comet, Cap’n Crunch and Frosted Flakes, Cherry pie still in the oven Muffin tin with little cakes. On the sink that’s full of dishes There’s the plastic yellow Joy Plus a broom and dustpan waiting For a housewife to employ. It took five long years to finish Setting every bead in place But the final product’s something Every person can embrace. So if visiting the city, Take my word and find your way To a very cool museum With this kitchen on display.
