Opulence

We saw some hieroglyphics And some beaded Native art, Some instruments of music With their coolness off the chart; The Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit And some armor from the past, All admired and enjoyed although We zipped through kind of fast. The only place we lingered was Where varied rooms were staged Showing how the wealthy lived, Our grandson totally engaged. The lighting dim, the papered walls, The opulent décor Elicited reactions We had not quite seen before. Such lavish furnishings, unlike The homes that I have known Make me wonder how he’ll decorate A home when it’s his own.
