Greetings from Germany!

I just received this poem in my post and thought you might like it.

"SORPOTEL"


'For the hotch potch known as Haggis
Let the Scotsman yearn or yell
For the taste of Yorkshire pudding
Let the English family dwell.

For the famed Tandoori Chicken
That Punjabis praise like hell
But for us who hail from Goa
There's nothing like SORPOTEL!

>From the big wigs in Colaba
To the small fry in Cavel
>From the growing tribes in Bandra
To the remnants in Parel.

>From the lovely girls at Glaxo
To the boys in Burma shell
There's no Goan whose mouth won't water
When you talk of SORPOTEL!

And Oh! for Christmas dinner
Don't you think it would be swell
If by some freak of fortune
Or by some magic spell

We could , as they have in Goa
A bottle of the cajel
And toddy leavened sannas
To go with SORPOTEL
