Best Greeter Poems
The Greeter at a Museum
I am prepared to perform my mindless task
when they open the doors at ten am
and when the visitors enter I recall
my preamble and it goes like this
Good morning, folks where are you from
sorry no cokes or food beyond this point
well hello grandmother, I love your dress
don’t you look hot I mean that in a flattering way
unless your not hot that is
Wow, I remember Kent, MA
I used to live at Loggins Way
did you know Marth and Faye, oh Marth is dead
and Faye ran away with a younger man,
a poet you say it doesn’t surprise me
she always had a yen for younger men
enjoy the art and if you need anything my name is Barte
with an e at the end it was my mothers maiden name you see
oh your name is Wolfe with an e at the end
nice meeting you until then
Hi there, what a handsome child you have
he favors you I'd like to add
his creviced chin and ruddy cheeks
add character to this winsome lad
Hi folks, you need a lift ,oh your’e from England
its an elevator here in the USA
let me direct you to that spot cheerio and all that rot
Hi can I help you can I help you sir no I can’t
youv’e been here before well oh well
I bet you don’t know where the President fell
you were right behind him when he took that spill
but you didn’t see me on that day
I was right behind the exhibit display
to keep an eye on creeps like you
who don’t know the importance of my job
so leave me now artistic snob
oh I love to greet and I love to meet
knowing where the his and her bathrooms are
I can even tell you where to park your car
I think I found my niche in life
as to the who what where and why but
if perchance you know this place when you see me walk on by

Do not let gloom get in your way
at start of day.
God gave the sun
to everyone.
When the sun shines, borrow a beam
and let it gleam
inside your soul.
Swallow it whole!
Let it light a smile on your face.
Radiate grace.
Be God's greeter.
Make life sweeter!

yellow meadowlark
offering sweet melodies
atop a fencepost
my mood suddenly lightened
I stroll toward the woodland

She met me at the big golden door
Similiar to another I had seen before
Kind she was all dressed in white
Mommy said that is what angels look like
Tall and strong like my dear grandma
But her smile was that of my sweet nana
She knelt and said "Your mom and I share a name"
In her I saw three different pieces that made up the same
Hand in hand we walked right on through
And she told the stories of how all three of them grew

The Walmart greeter in my town
Is short and fat with the face of a clown
Her cheeks are rouged a brilliant hue
Her lips are painted a deadly blue
Her hair is sparse and greying
She wears a toothless smile
She pushed a cart into my hands
And shoved me down the aisle
She is in charge of every cart
Helping patrons shop the mart
Answers questions every day
Where's the diapers? Where to pay?
Do you sell rackets for the courts?
Where do I return these under shorts?
Where's the bathroom? I lost my keyes
Can you find my husband, please?
So when you pass a Walmart store
Remember the greeter at the door
Although her guise may seem uncanny
Don't forget she's someone's granny!

I hear the strings being plucked into music
It surrounds through the mist, smooth and slick
No path to follow or way so clear
A distant figure looms, somehow a mirror
Closer in my arms stands the little one from before
I knew you would be here to meet me at the door

I flit from room to room greeting
Because it is what I like to do
I consider myself the daily greeter
It makes me happy
Some of them cringe
Hoping I am not going to take them away
From their frenzied planning
Which should have been done last week
I take note of their somber expressions
Their lack of enthusiasm
And I flit to a different room
Where there might be a happier coworker
Sometimes I find them
Sometimes I don’t
But I start every day being optimistic
That today is the day everyone is happy.
I know it is just a matter of the right day.

Enjoyable being bus greeter
Getting sweet or angry high fives
Seeing quickly who needs me
Who might blow up today
Who has a birthday
A great heads up

Check your attitude at the door the greeter said.
What kind of greeter is that?
A negative greeter with a bad attitude if you ask me
I decided not to go inside that restaurant
If I want to hear stuff like this
I can go home

The man is not famous
But his dog is the best
He greets all of us neighbors
Better than all of the rest.
When on the street, you and this dog meet
He jumps straight into the air, a real “greet” treat!
