The Green Door Poem by Elia Michael

The Green Door

Rating: 3.5

Xylophagou has a taverna
It is bijou and has tables few
The Green Door or Prasini Porta
Where Avxentis serves good food to you

The best souvlaki in all Cyprus
And beans in a rich tomato sauce
Fresh vegetables raw and fibrous
And lots of dips and pitta of course

It is a place where you're treated well
By Kyriakos and Avxentis
Where you feel a kind of magic spell
Especially after some bevvies

It's best if you get there before eight
As its fame has now spread far and wide
So please do not leave it very late
Or you will not get a seat inside
