Their well-known tolerance
Does not extend to pedestrians
In the designated bike lane.
Ann Frank’s house had a long line
Even in the off-season
And cost too much besides.
The Sex Museum was more fun anyway
And aren’t we all
Jews and Gentiles alike
Prisoners of sex?
Don’t judge me
For looking in a lustful way
And not feeling the least bit sorry
For the third-world woman in the window
In the sin red panties
Smoking a cigarette.
This is Amsterdam
Where van Gogh lost an ear
For love
Where coffee comes with cannabis
And is served below sea level.
Who am I to question
Whether this is right or wrong
Or when the great flood comes
Whether the levees will hold.
