Coimetrophobia and Such

I All sorts of fears A place of tears And all these years I thought these letters Strung together for a collector? No, far from such C O I M E T R O PH O B I A Intimated I feared losing Coins at the cemetery But oops, nothing to do with coins! II Then capital, names, of nations can And do raise the odd question Does Turkey have to do with FOWL? For "turkey," tradition thanks Native Americans With apologies a good country Might - o capital - sound hell- ish, I'm sorry I don't understand H E L S I N K I But "hell" better deal FIRE than WATER May Finland never taste an iota of sink! Meanwhile tourists have made me think About BANGKOK (some business stink!) Back in the USA, I did learn to connect The dots for INDIANAPOLIS & Connecticut In Africa's south, a harbour (yes, there's contraband) Rhymes with urban, not pronounced DUR - BAN But yes, I do pray we do begin to ban Alcohol sales on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays Prayer or pipedream for old fashioned ways?
