I went to a fancy art gallery

I was saving up for the ticket all year

I was hoping to leave with memories

And a postcard as a souvenir 


I wore a black pair of high heels

That made me wobble when I walk

I should have parked closer to the museum

I had to walk a whole block!


When I walked in the door

I bumped into a table  and broke a lampshade

They told me I would need to replace it

So before I ran out I paid


After buying a ticket

And a new pair of shoes

All I left with was 

an expensive bruise
