 POSTCARD FROM A GREEK FERRY

(With a beautiful three-year-old)
Pretty Aphrodite speaks;
'Kalispera' says she.
Enchanted,
I return the greeting,
our gazes meeting.
She chatters on
this three-year-old
Alas! the rest is Greek to me!
Chocolate-brown eyes
convey her meaning
sincerely - but unclearly
she stands awaiting my reply,
a question in her eye.
Oh, my! oh, my!
I shrug and smile.
although I’ve heard -
it seems absurd;
I cannot understand a word!
