Poseidon is a lousy boyfriend; or, How I lost my glasses at the beach


Oh so seductive
with his pounding surf
and come-hither waves
Once you're in
he tries to rip your clothes off
then he steals your stuff
then he throws you out.

(Never turn your back upon a wave.)

Now I imagine him 
riding along in his chariot
with my coolest glasses ever 
perched upon his nose

*shrug*

I needed new ones anyway...

  1. None of those Greek deities did well by their human lovers -- a classics scholar like you should know that!
