The Met Gala

Tonight’s the Met Gala;

I wasn’t invited

And here, in my jeans,

I don’t feel at all slighted.


I don’t wear couture 

And the funds that they’ll raise

Are a little beyond

What my pension fund pays.


I’ll read in The Times

What celebrities wear

And no one in the crowd

Will take note I’m not there.


At a recent Met visit,

I gazed at the art,

Much better than fashion

That sets folks apart.


Though some chairmen who took

Over Venice to wed

Think the world would prefer

Seeing them there instead.
