ON NATIONAL DEBTS  
(I hope that it's understood, this poem has nothing to do with ordinary working class German and Italian people, many of whom are my very good friends)  
 
 
Following last Sunday's parliamentary election,  
the newly formed Greek government,  
comprising mostly of  
Marxists and Socialists of all kinds,  
is in the happy position to announce  
that it has found  
in secret state coffers  
very many trillions of Euros,  
deposited there  
by previous Greek governments,  
in bars of gold.  
 
We have decided  
that one of our first moves  
should be to pay off completely  
our national debts,  
especially to our German partners,  
and preferably before the 30th of January,  
which may be a national holiday for them  
for all we know.  
 
As gold happens to be  
a very heavy material,  
(heavier than human life, that is),  
and anyway, we don’t have any cash,  
and the roads are treacherous in winter time,  
and we don’t see any good reason why  
pay expensive bank commissions  
for direct money transfers,  
we invite the said German partners,  
to employ a lot of lorry drivers,  
so they come and collect  
the precious metal from Greece,  
and at the same time,  
have a enjoyable pick nick  
in the picturesque surroundings.  
Free souvlakis and beer  
will be provided,  
courtesy of local people.  
 
We have deposited gold  
equal to our debt to you  
 (and to your unwilling, sometimes equally victimized partners)  
in the following addresses:  
 
Massacre of Kondomari - June 1941-Crete (by German paratroopers-60 innocent victims  
Razing of Kandanos - 3 June 1941 Western Crete (by German Army troops-180 innocent victims)
