Amazon Rider

Twelve royal labors, you faced each challenge hard and mean. Claimed delicate favors; made good on stripping a warrior queen. Amazon rider, you jump her bareback as you please. You get soul deep inside her with the pretty lady on her knees. You’re never idle, vanquishing lions, and hydras of course. With harness and bridle, spurring Hippolyta on like a horse. Amazon rider, you’re just a big shot bully boy. Sitting firmly astride her is the only thing you enjoy. Don’t you get tired of being such a tool of the gods? So self-admired in parlous quests against the odds. Amazon rider, I have to say I’m not impressed. You're a cornered spider spinning your ego’s manifest.
