What could have been the trickiest of days
Turned out just fine - a taxi to Trieste
For 35 euros. Cappucinos
Through the train to Venice, no sleep, no rest
But how could I, when we went to the best
Place for a few hours' wander, and a test
Of navigational skills, canalside walks
From the train station to San Marco, guess
Where we finished? Yes, Irish bar, of course
And saw Spurs-United, the Reds on course
For a title challenge. Our bill, crazy -
84 euros... Guinness is the best
I'd like to think we lasted the whole course
And went to Hotel Belle Epoque to snooze
Written while very drunk in Hotel Belle Epoque, Venice, Sunday 4 March
