1298 - Strike, tattooist!

Strikes are this year’s thing; seventies retro
The civil servants yesterday; today
It’s the train drivers’ turn to have a go
And also the staff of British Airways
Getting around this Easter’s not child’s play
Thank God my trip to Ireland is finished
And the Greek trip is still two months away!
A friend at work who travels has furnished
Me with details of a Greek tattooist
Near the Parthenon. I’m there three days so
I might pop in and endure agony
For body art’s sake. I might even test
The tattooists in other countries, show
Their flags and emblems, a flash flesh display
