My poem for this one: (human composed poem)
An American tourist went to Rome
Should have left the fence alone
Climbed up high for a selfie shot
Didn't give it another thought
Then he slipped and oops that hurt
Landed on a spike, directly through his shirt
Impaled himself on a giant spike
Seems like that's not a place to like
Did the spectators give him the thumbs or down?
I don't know, Rome's a tough town
American tourist impales self on metal spike in the Colosseum after climbing a fence and falling 
(Edit: maybe trying to get a selfie)

I have been seeing interstate tourism billboards lately.
Kentucky has one on I-94 near Lake Station, Indiana.
Nebraska has one on I-294 near O'Hare in Illinois.
It made me think of some advertising slogans: "Come to KY. Now with 80% more Kentucky Bourbon supplies."
"Visit Florida with 90% less Canadians!"
