Museums

Poem inspired by all the museums I came across in Prague

By Chloe GilholyPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Starting the morning stroll with encounters

Of torture, wax replicas and sex machines

And then by sheer coincidence you see a

Mechanical version of Bugs Bunny chomping

On a silver carrot.

It took me back to my time in Iceland

Where I saw the pink rock museum

Where public toilets used to be

Along with a penis museum

Which I didn't go in, I already have

Seen enough of them in my lifetime

I wonder if the sex machine museum

Is anything like the one in Amsterdam

These are some great gimmicks but I think

I might prefer to walk through the alleyways

Pick up a hot tea or mulled wine or maybe try

A honey wine because they sound good.

This holiday is going too fast!
