Metfest

Saw a blurb on MetFest Held today, at the museum.* Musical performances Outdoors – I had to see ‘em. A former stomping ground Pre-Covid, but it’s been a while. Once there, ‘twas like I never left; I couldn’t help but smile. The melting pot that is New York Was fully there on view, A pleasure to observe and yes, Some upbeat music, too. A group of female drummers Followed by a cool brass band, Then a bunch of Double Dutchers With their jump rope skills on hand. The locals and the tourists All applauded, laughed and danced, Toddlers, teens to wheelchair seniors, Every passerby entranced. Vendors set up on the sidewalks, Food carts had their treats to hawk; What a lovely day in sunshine At the MetFest in New Yawk. *Metropolitan Museum of Art
