ODYSSEY
The toughest thing about Homer’s Odyssey
Is that it is written in Greek
The trouble with mine it seems
It’s written in words ya can’t speak
For Homer had Satyr’s and Harpies
And trickery tucked up his sleeve
While I, in the midst of confession
Told lies that “No-man” would believe
And yet still I strive for I’m still alive
While Homer has yellowed with age
With all of his writings now high on a shelf
While I pen bad poems on a page
For some demon’s are, and some demon’s ain’t
Deserving of historic note
But all of them alter the truth with their “taint”
So, get off your fat asses and vote
