1791 - Carpet Man becomes Bear Man

Fun day yesterday, but Sunday today
Nevertheless I read the Istanbul
Guide book I took out from the library
Along with the Berlin book. What a fool
I felt as I read. It contained the rules
On haggling in Turkey I wish I'd known
When I was there a year ago and fell
Victim to the carpet 'bait and switch' men
Still, enjoyed reading about it again
Intiklal and Taksim, the memory
Still burns bright, and Orhan Pamuk as well
Walked to town for my dose of tattoo pain
The Berlin bear's now on my arm - he's a
Cutie, and I learned some Greek too - how cool!!!
