Meandering In Piraeus

Meandering in Piraeus Sunday in Piraeus, a line of people outside a church I joined the line and was inside given a bag of cakes. The old woman behind me was refused a bag of cakes it appears she had joined the line three times, I gave her my bag. I didn’t think much of priests who were mostly soft faced and fat looking. The old woman had no teeth I bought her a soft drink to swallow her cakes. I sat in the park nursing a Dutch beer the local beer was not to my liking, when the old woman came demanding money I refused and she screamed rape. The police removed her from the park. In the park a grotto, by paying a few drachma, I could go in and there was an in a glass cage a likeness of baby Jesus as only a disturbed person could have made, the eyes of baby Jesus were full of malice and he had an ******** big as a smithy’s arm.
