I should be in Greece or Albania now
I can't quite remember the full schedule
Since I rubbed out the pencilled notes saying how
I'd planned to spend each day. Though it was cruel
To miss out on this trip, I'd be a fool
To rely right now on public transport
In that troubled corner that I'm sure you'll
Have seen erupting in the news. One sort
Of eruption being social; riots caught
In the TV spotlight; financial slough
Of despond. Again, Iceland's ash has ruled
Out flights to Spain and Italy, that sort
Of eruption, geological. Blow
Across the skies, symbol of our misrule
