Every fight that takes place in Symi has its own grace.
Another is the bride’s fling with the betteria, even if it is floating in the air like “the bride and as soon as she is born she resembles the betteria”. There even the grandfather’s spoon comes out.
The ball brawl, has its honor, when two brats quarrel over the eyes of a figure. How long they’ve been at each other’s throats. It’s a boo-boo, they say, “We’re losing, we’re losing, we’re losing.”
The old people will remember the fights that took place at festivals in Symi and the reasons are many… “They gave him a table at the bistro…” “the instruments were thrown at the bartender…”, “the cafeteria owner served them…” I remember the chairs and the beer bottles flying over us… like rockets.
Amma’s lurking in the neighborhood, there you go… it becomes the save… they’re getting hair-raised for nothing. One says to the other, “her pines and her lips and her lips and her lips and her lips and her lips” “with the world, she says, the world’s gossip is the world’s gossip”.
We have great fights in Symi whenever there is an eclipse. You try to talk to one and the other one turns his back on you. If it’s more than that and you’re a candidate for mayor… there you go… like a good time in the 1955 elections for the Symi mayoralty with candidates: Koumneni Pantika and Helen of Harouppa… LIKE GATTA WITH THE SHEET…
