Dennis In Venice

The Bridge of Sighs was a nice surprise,
It had an echo from the prisoners that had trudged across,
maybe there had been a mini Ben Hur where one of the onlookers had offered some water to a cross- bearing Jesus.
Byron and Shelley had been here,
albeit promiscuous and a little queer,
they visited the local bordellos and saw Dennis,
which was comical as he was just a menace.
Gavorting in St.Marks Square,
He always had the time to stand and stare,
even in Merano he was glassy eyed,
like an underpaid ugly tour guide.
They all shared a gondola like a beautiful pea-green boat,
the chances of them all agreeing was rather remote.
