POLIZIA ROMA CAPITALE

We visited a little back street cafe
for coffee, juice and cakes.
We had obviously strayed off the usual tourist route.
I thought we were not going to get out alive.
My wife escaped, I was grabbed by one of the henchmen
and the mafiosi boss was about to lay into me.
However, my daughter demonstrated
her years of military training
had not been wasted.
Armed only with a tourist guide to the churches and galleries of Rome
She beat the hoodlum about the head
whilst yelling
"Let my father go
Get your hands off him!"
They had more then met their match and beat a hasty retreat.
You can never find the Polizia
when you need them.
