Crossed into Turkey 3.30 am
Got off the bus and queued for passport checks
A visa 15 euros please sir. When
Will they stop fleecing me... OK - now let's
Go from Greece like lightning. Istanbul - it's
Cold and damp. Dragged my suitcase all the way
To Topkapi but it's Sultanahmet
I wanted. Got the tram the other way
Nine stops in no time standing all the way
Checked in - saw the Blue Mosque. Loudly heard them
Calling the faithful through loudspeakers. Text
Of Islamic prayers wailed beautifully
Ayia Sofia twenty lira! Then
Was sold some extremely costly carpets
