Your rickshaw ride in Charleston
Can't explore that magic town;
The driver's only licensed
A - pick-up, B - set you down.
Official guides in Charleston
Rapt carriage-tour riders and foot-groups
Can't block ante-bellum lanes.
A pedicab lurks at your hotel,
Marks you for a heinous crime;
A sleazy eager historian
Who is keen to sell his time.
To stamp out such nasty infractions
Wired police devised a sting
Attired for entrapment as tourists
Massive fines recordings bring.
Few hours in scenic Charleston ?
Cruise-lined there by Carnival,
Snubbed by snobby South-of-Broad big-shots?
Don't treat 'Rick Shaw' as a pal.
If gliding past Fort Sumter
And re-boarding is a must,
Steer clear of 'Rick"s tempting discussions -
It might be a tourist bust.
