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.
