Learning the City

Took the hop-on, hop-off boat To Skansen in the cold, An open-air museum Worth the visit, we were told. We wandered 'round and stopped inside Old farmsteads, barns and school Where guides in olden costumes Told the history, so cool. Varieties of animals, From ponies, goats and cows Were there to see as well as Nordic wolves and moose a'browse. From there we went to Abba, A museum filled with song; Watched videos and naturally Did dance and sing along. Another boat to Old Town And the Christmas market crowd, Then watched a candy maker work, Where everyone was wowed. Stopped briefly in a Blues club Where we listened, packed in tight, To a band on board to usher All its fans into the night. Up next, a lovely dinner In a cozy local place Where they found a little table So some tourists they'd embrace. At last, we made our way back To our room in the hotel, On streets that by day 3 we can Maneuver pretty well. Tomorrow will be easy For we've learned our way around. It's a pity, though, that Monday We'll be flying homeward bound.
