That Old Greek Religion

After four weeks working with a group of goddesses, 
two of them Greek, I’m reviewing my religious options, 
and considering a return to the old Greek religion:-

Give me that old Greek religion
Give me that old Greek religion
Give me that old Greek religion
It’s good enough for me

I will worship one Athena
You’d know why if you had seen ’er
With a bountiful demeanour
And she’s good enough for me

I will worship goddess Hebe
For with her you get a freebie
That gives you the Hebe jeeby
And she’s good enough for me

I will worship Aphrodite
She’s beautiful but flighty
And she goes round in her nighty
But she’s good enough for me

I will worship goddess Rania
Like the fairy queen Titania
So enchanting they should ban ya
But you’re good enough for me

We should worship one called Stella
She’d be adored by every fella
And we’d all sing a capella:
“She’s good enough for me!”

With your old Godfather Zeus
If they don’t give you fair dues
He’ll make an offer they can’t refuse
And that’s good enough for me

I've always thought the pagans had more insight into the female side of divinity!
