THE BALLAD OF ODYSSEUS
\n– written by Zephyr Bird<\/h2>\n

VERSE ONE:<\/h3>\n

There was a man left stranded at sea
\nOn Ogygia, without guarantee
\nOf seeing his wife and child, and his kingdom
\nHe built a raft and shortly found
\nThat Poseidon would keep him on ground
\nFor water was his bane, he was it\u2019s victim<\/p>\n

CHORUS<\/h3>\n

The Sacker of cities, the bane of your crops
\nOdysseus the wise, of long auburn locks
\nHe\u2019s brave and quite cunning, but long stranded from home
\nOdysseus now cries, sad and alone.<\/p>\n

VERSE TWO:<\/h3>\n

He washed up on a foreign shore
\nWith naught but dread and cold galore
\nUntil the Princess Nausicaa came hither
\nHe found the King to be compliant
\nAfter recount of stabbing a giant
\nAnd got a ship to cross the seas and rivers<\/p>\n

CHORUS<\/h3>\n

The Sacker of cities, the bane of your crops
\nOdysseus the brave, of long auburn locks
\nHe\u2019s brave and quite cunning, and now he\u2019s going home
\nOdysseus of Greece, not of Ancient Rome.<\/p>\n

VERSE THREE:<\/h3>\n

They sailed for days and nights at end
\nTill into depths the boats did descend
\nFor the Quaker turned their ships into granite
\nHe met with herds and masters three
\nTwo revered him, but one \u2018marquis\u2019
\nDid hate him and was cast from the ballot<\/p>\n

CHORUS:<\/h3>\n

Sacker of cities, the bane of your crops,
\nOdysseus resourceful, of long auburn locks
\nDisguised as a beggar, and now walking home
\nOdysseus has friends, and they are not gnomes.<\/p>\n

VERSE FOUR:<\/h3>\n

He saw his castle, fields green
\nAnd begged the men to meet the queen
\nTo see, disguised, if she had stayed true
\nHe entered soon and shortly found
\nThat\u00a0 loyalty was much renowned
\nBut tested by the suitors she did accrue<\/p>\n

CHORUS:<\/h3>\n

Sacker of Cities, the bane of your crops
\nOdysseus the lover, of long Auburn locks
\nConfronted and quite angry, he\u2019s finally got home
\nAnd soon suitors will perish, and no more shall roam.<\/p>\n

VERSE FIVE:<\/h3>\n

The journey had been been long
\nHis suitors now reviled
\nBut so long he’d spent from home
\nThat had his hopes been misled?<\/p>\n

He gathered the forces left
\nThe herdsman and his son
\nAnd on the early morning light
\nSuitor’s death
\nWas all to come<\/p>\n

He stringed, the bow
\nAnd hid, the spears
\nThe armor and the weapons
\nAll disappeared<\/p>\n

Rallied, inspired,
\nHe drew, he fired<\/p>\n

The Room grew quiet
\nHis son admired
\nHis hired men grew tired
\nThe fighting soon retired
\nAs the last man did expire<\/p>\n

And atop the battlefield
\nOdysseus gazed
\nAt what had transpired.<\/p>\n

Chorus:<\/h3>\n

The saver of cities, the vanquished of slobs
\nOdysseus the king, handsome and with strop
\nHappy and united, he stands on his freed home
\nSo this story ends, no longer alone.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
