1449 - In old Amsterdam

Greetings from Amsterdam, my dear reader
I've almost been here for one whole day now
I've just had my first pint of Amstel beer
And, more importantly, my first tattoo
I've been on the canal cruise boats, and how
Good a way is that to tour the city
First stop, Anne Frank's house, where most tourists go
Then the boat to the Rijksmuseum, the
Rembrandts and Vermeers, Golden Age arty
I then walked round Vondelpark, the inner
City green space of choice; Rembrandt Square, though
I couldn't find the painter's house. The three
Crosses, the symbol of this town, are there
On my arm. Next, a pint, then a smoke. Wow.
