People think that Prague is a charming city, Full of baroque architecture, full of fun, full of extra-strong beer, The Vltava positively brimming with Smetana; Just the place for a stag weekend With lots of blond birds with legs up their armpits At very reasonable prices really. But, O woe is me, there is another side to this paradise Of a Czech city and believe me, I know whereof I talk; For it was there that my darling Magdalene (a delightful girl I hired for a week of pleasure and who provided excellent value for the koruna) Got kidnapped by a gang of Pentecostalists Who wished to save her soul for Jesus And didn't care if it meant her physical degradation. It was near Wenceslas Square when I last saw her As she got bundled into their VW Campervan And since there were at least a dozen of the bastards I decided discretion was the better part of valour As there's plenty more fish in the sea And my wallet was bulging like my zipper. I found her a few days later, lying there in the gutter, Her cerebellum wide open to the lowering sky, And a "Jesus Loves You" badge on her Tam O'Shanter. And for what, I hear a chorus of wailing voices cry, Well they only found a few dozen under-valued Euros Which I had given her as down-payment for services rendered. Dear God, I shall not be going to Bohemian Prague again (but I might Czech out Karlovy Vary though as I have heard the tasty tartlets are even less expensive there).

Brilliant. Reminded me of the film 'Pretty Woman'.
I have exalted you for this fine poem.

Thank you, Alex. If you send me a PM to say where in Britain or Europe you would like my next "Tragedy" poems set, I will try and do my best for you within 24 hours. I stand exalted.

Why do I have to send a pm? Can't I just tell you on this thread?
Could you please write a 'Tragedy' poem set in Mongolia: that's where I live.
Thank you bazza.
