Short Changed on A Long Greek Island

Short Changed on A Long Greek Island

 

I gave her three and a half weeks

of a single summer,

she gave me a bowl of green olives ..

 

We made out, on the beach, in a

telephone booth,

and on the deck of an old man’s boat ..

 

Not to mention, cheap hotel rooms

and those balconies ..

I thought I would not be lonely again ..

 

But boy was I wrong, I gave her three

and a half weeks,

she gave me a bowl of green olives ..

 

I gave her, my number and a promise

in return, she gave me

   

a bowl of green olives and the elbow ..
