sly Athena -- shoulda seen her
as she helped the hapless Greeks
and Poseidon, chose their side and
pitched right in -- they're up the creek
cause Apollo, vain and shallow
picked the Trojans in his pride
well, and Ares went for Paris --
likes a man who steals his bride
I believe in even-steven
Zeus proclaimed from up above
and you, mighty Aphrodite
started all of this for love
Gods do battle, poets prattle
and the war goes on, of course
were I Shakespeare, I'd ask fate here:
half the kingdom, for a horse
