1498 - Athena again

On the night bus from Turkey, was pissed off
By some loud-mouthed Turk blokes. I know the type
My Turkish ex-neighbour had the same laugh
And inconsiderate nature. Frequent stops
For cigarettes and maybe an ass-wipe
Athens was traffic-choked - no surprise there
Chaos on Ermou - taxi, motorbike
Bus and death wish pedestrians appear
And vanish in smoke, gone to who knows where
This last proper day not quite long enough
To see it all. Keramikos, then hyped
Acropolis, and Ancient Agora
The Parthenon was looking rather rough

My feet are aching now, but mustn't gripe!

  1. Your feet ache, eh? Are you wearing sandals? With socks?

    Hope you're having a lovely time!
