Making Waves

by Ruth S. Baker

“Police catch woman, 28, climbing colossal 16th-century statue of Neptune to touch its genitals as a dare … City officials put the cost of the damage at €5,000…”
The Guardian

Funzionari here have had a plateful.
Tourists are ever cheekier and bolder!
At least the fountain horses can be grateful
Their bodies stop somewhere around the shoulder.
