Short Changed on A Long Greek Island

I gave her three and a half weeks
of a single summer,
she gave me a bowl of green olives ..

We made out, on the beach, in a
telephone booth,
and on the deck of an old man’s boat ..

Not to mention, cheap hotel rooms
and those balconies ..
I thought I would not be lonely again ..

But boy was I wrong, I gave her three
and a half weeks,
she gave me a bowl of green olives ..

I gave her, my number and a promise
in return, she gave me
a bowl of green olives and the elbow ..

Like the usage of the repeated stanza. Also I like the mention of the olives, I couldn't really tell you why, either?

Your poetry, as ever, is a pleasure to read x
