In Minneapolis
Here in Minneapolis,
In weather bright and cool,
We crossed the Mississippi
Then we headed to the school.
Two students helped to guide us
To the campus place for art,
A museum by Frank Gehry,
Not a shabby place to start.
We checked out the ceramics,
Sculptures, paintings and the shop
Then in need of rest and sustenance,
We thought we'd take a stop.
And that's when we found Annie's,
Where a coffee malt and fries
(Both delicious!) perked us up -
A Minneapolis surprise.
See, my favorite part of travel
Is to find a local thing -
Be it food or craft or scenery -
Such pleasure does it bring!
And though sometimes it's familiar,
Like the fries and malt today,
If I'd been at home, I would not do
What's done when I'm away.
