Corfu Town It’s Cricket
Alfresco, beautiful esplanade
taverna in Corfu town.
Retsina and ouzo to drink
Greek salad – kalamata and feta.
Ball on willow echoes out
a cricket match on the esplanade green.
Shouts of out or well done
disturbing the lunch.
Such sounds of Englishness
abounding on foreign soil.
Just enjoying an idyllic Grecian day
then knocked for six.
