Touring Pompeii

I traveled to a land I always wanted to see. I was on the slopes of Vesuvius in Italy. Here I was among ancient ruins alone. There was something strange carved on this wall of stone. I called the tour guide to come over right away. “I do not read Latin, so what does it say? This looks like a poem on a wall here in Pompeii. What did this person write on that fateful day? Whoever this individual was, he or she was alone. They had nothing better to do but to inscribe on the stone.” Lena and I were now apart from the crowd. When she read the inscription, she laughed aloud. “We are among the remains of an excavated latrine. What you see is graffiti that is rather obscene. This writing is about a boy describing his girlfriend. She had very big **** and a fat rear end. Perhaps the gods were angry from this episode. That is what may have made the mountain explode”
