Sliding Scale
If you’ve been to New York, I’ll bet
You paid a visit to the Met.
It is the premier place to start
If on your plate you want some art.
Before some hours you invested,
You were charged a fee – suggested,
Meaning you could pay much less
And gain entrance with success.
Now, though, that’s about to change
Which out-of-towners might find strange,
For those who out-of-state reside
Will find their lesser fees denied.
New Yorkers who can prove they are
May still contribute under par.
Does this seem fair? Well, no or yes –
I have the proof of MY address!
