Poor Odysseus


You are known in the local nick
And, also, down at the police station
For inspiring every lunatic
In this inebriated nation.
Look what you did to poor Odysseus –
You gave Circe the potion for his wine.
In order to make a fool of us
You turned all of his men into swine.
As you creep around the sky at night
Staring down with your owl's eye
You like to make us argue and fight
But, if I were to use as an alibi
The fact that you toy with us for sport
My words would simply be laughed out of court.
