A Trip to the MET (Time Travel)

Time TRAVEL has not been kind.
I saw a discus-throwing chap,
who was missing an arm and a leg BACK IN THE 5th CENTURY BC!
I walked right past a  woman with no arms.
ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME And now
I viewed knights mounted on charging horses.
CRUSADERS ALL IN WHITE AND RED!
I sat in a room with a LONG FORGOTTEN temple,
surrounded by the waters of time.
I stared at it for hours. Days.
Until I saw it in its native land.
A faraway place with flowing sands.
SURROUNDED BY SPHINXES AND PYRAMIDS.
I continue my trip THROUGH THE AGES
and end up in the Robert Lehman Collection.
Impressionist works by Botticelli. Paintings by Rembrandt
Here I see some famous works like
Pablo Picasso PAINTING his famous portrait of
Gertrude Stein AS SHE STANDS IN FRONT OF ME.
A few hours TO ME. IN ACTUALITY A MATTER OF MINUTES later
I step out the door OF THE TIME MACHINE and  walk down the
MARBLE steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
