First Time at the Met

We took our grandson to the Met,

His very first time there,

A special day with him alone,

A circumstance quite rare.

 

We rode the bus from where we live,

To him an urban treat

And bought a New York pretzel

Just to make the day complete.

 

He’s almost 10 and reads a lot

So what he chose to see

Were Greek and Roman galleries

Filled with antiquity.

 

The subject matter fit right in

With books he races through.

Egyptian mummies also made

The cut for us to view.

 

Ironically, when passing by

The knights and swords display,

He had no interest, though his dad

Adored that in his day.

 

It’s wonderful to get to share

Such cool amazing art

With son and grandson, even if

It happened years apart.
