Brugge

Tourist in Bruges I was in Bruges, in Flanders, once Saw beautiful old buildings where the patrician class The merchants and charlatans lived Where the poor lived in the past has been erased The poor now live in high rise flats. We rented a carriage with a bored horse that did its round On streets too clean to be true; animals peed on canvas. We walked around took the pictures as did others. We had lunch at a café too expensive for its food, but the beer Was good and that is worth remembering.
