Greece. All grey and turquoise.

 


She made the plans, the plane

The rooms

The seaside bracing breeze.

I wanted Florida baseball camp

But she whined pretty please.

The ancient stone, the elders quote

From Iliad the poem.

I loathed the stuff

My marks were rough

But college made a fuss.

Antiquities and war’s

Disease.

I had more than enough.

Now here’s a table packed with food

The fish and salads and pies

Oh that will do

Complaining through

A Greek sight for sore eyes.

And sunset’s rich surprise.
