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.
