In Under an Hour

A Hopper, three Calders, a Pollack and more
We shared with our grandson today.
Some paintings and sculpture he’d not seen before 
Were just waiting for us, on display.

In under an hour we checked it all out;
He enjoyed quite a bit of the art.
We will take him to other museums, no doubt;
He’ll remember when we are apart.

At the gift shop he picked out two small souvenirs
We were happy he wanted to buy.
As he grows, in his future, if artwork appears,
We might claim to know partially why.

Much better than the 'graffiti art' on public transport these days, eh?! Good for you, grandma I.B!

You may have helped plant the seed Ilene, sadly today a lot of kids spend too much time on their screens. Tom
