Amsterdam

 

Come to this town,

Where sex is cheap and love is rare

On every corner there’s a hooker and a dealer

Every young mans dream

Every father’s nightmare

Tattooed ladies and funny boys

Lots of games and lots of toys

Bright lights for shady shows

Do what you want, cause everything goes?

Over here there is no catch

You can get your kicks,

If you've got the cash

The other sin city... you shed another color on the red light district. Bravo.

don't think amsterdam will be putting this poem in their travel brochure any time soon. but yet, you have captured a particular aspect of the city that can wear thin to an unseasoned traveler.

Ah! This was short but very powerful :)
A very nice description of a city...Though I always thought Amsterdam as a very peaceful European city :D
But your poem depicted the other side of it as well..
Great attempt!

I am of Dutch ancestry and I live in the confines of a largely Dutch settlement here in MIchigan. It is so ironic how contrary the culture (which is perceived as Dutch here) is to the actual culture in Amsterdam. Apparently when the Dutch emigrated to the US, they turned prudish :) Nice write.
