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.
