Zorba The Greek

Zorba The Greek

We all did hail Zorba the Greek

Unaware what havoc you would wreak

Your running pace a slow andante

A Divine Comedy by Dante

Is happiness a frugal heart?

Away clean sheet be nice to start

Our one nil lead you did expunge

With your silly pointless lunge

Our defence turns to semolina

With boo boo after Bouboulina

It came to you as some surprise

Torpedo falling from the skies

Pepe dives, the lad fell over

You standing there like Super Grover

I fear you’ll never find your feet

Be gone to lignite mine in Crete

Zorba The Greek is a novel written by Nikos Kazantzakis in 1946.
It tells the tale of a young Greek intellectual who puts aside his copy of A Divine Comedy by Dante and sets off to re-open a lignite mine in Crete with the help of the boisterous and mysterious Alexis Zorba.
Bouboulina is a pet name given by Zorba to Madame Hortense the hotel owner.
