Art Museum

Go to an art museum

Pretend you understand

Nod along with what others are saying

Because otherwise you'll look bland

Though the colors on canvas means nothing to you

Everyone else seems to get it

Your legs grow sore from standing around

You decide to rest for a bit

Oh **** that bench was actually art!

What a mistake you've made

The staff tensely continue to glare

You wonder how much they get paid

Naked women adorn the walls

And prepubescents giggle

That one creepy painting is definitely staring at you

Uncomfortably, away you wriggle

Though the art museum is a cultured place to go

By the end you're always miserable

At least next time you'll know not to buy 15 dollar coffee

And remember that flash photography is unforgivable
