Το Ψωμί Μου kαι tο Βούτυρο*
To Psomí Mou kai to Voútyro*
* My bread and butter, in Greek.
-----
My bread and butter doth betray a thought
Of joyful memories before the fall
’Tis unfortunate my soul missed a lot
Feeling foreign within my all in all
’Tis never too late many said and lied
Those were the days when the nights were shorter
No matter how much I can and have tried
I may need an athletic supporter
Athena comes to mind with Shakespeare’s sword
’Tis the thought that counts is another lie
Her owl could play our go-between’s accord
I have to strive high in order to die
Greek bread does not require a butter knife
It steadily melts as I lose my life
