The Fall Of Europe

This time on 100 Words Or Les Nessman we were supposed to write about some person in a faerie costume standing like a statue in some kind of park with a bulldkye-looking chick smoking a cig.

Things are hard all over, but especially in Europe.

In Rome, taxis have been replaced by rickshaws pulled by starving pensioners.

You can't walk in London without tripping over three people shining your shoes.

Have problems folding a map in Berlin? Not any more - every petrol station features map-folders for hire.

It's easy to mistake the purse-snatchers of Paris for the porters and bearers.

But of all the fallen, pity Prague the most. The poor are stripped, painted like statuary, tangled in vines and daisies, and displayed in eight hour shifts.

Sad beasts, lining the grand avenues of yesterday.

I figured I'd get a little political and mock some EU countries.
