Zeus- What a Jerk!
He sits in bars night after night
Looking for his next love.
Silver beard, long and light,
Reveals he's from above.
Yet no true king is this newcomer
But his prey is none the wiser
This old freak, name of Jupiter,
Is pretty much just a womanizer
For millenia, he sits and waits
For millenia, he sits and waits.
Children abandoned around the globe.
Nowhere to call home.
Olympus is no throne for this cruel king.
Instead the streets, where he abandons his ring.
Calls a cab from petty mortals.
Holds back his thunderous chortle
Heads down to where the woman are
Gets out tall of the puny car.
Bar after bar, all across the lands
Losing count of his one-night stands.
Only in the night does he lurk.
Zeus- what a jerk!
