Greek Dinner

Had some time to kill while in
A town we don't know well.
Found a place to eat - looked good,
As far as we could tell.

The booths were cozy, seats were filled
And portions (took a peek)
Looked generous and yummy;
The proprietor was Greek.

The salad was delicious
And the grape leaves were the best.
The soft warm bread most surely
Put will power to the test.

The spinach pie and baklava
Did help round out the meal,
A random unexpected find
And also, a great deal!

I love Greek food, Ilene. A few years in Florida friends and I had dinner at an authentic Greek restaurant in a small town famous for its sponges. It was delicious. Your poem brought back memories. Thank you. / M
