Minerva & Bacchus

A light & fluffy poem of the Gods

'Minerva I beg you believe me

I love only you no-one else.'

 

'Oh Bacchus how dare you decieve me

I know about Diana and Venus.'

 

'Oh c'mon you must reprieve me

it's just fun that got out of hand.'

 

'You should know not to percieve me

as someone who settles for less.'

 

'Too many parties, too many girls

that is not part of the plan.'

 

'Don't let that come between us

you know that I'm your man.'

 

And so leaning over she kicked him

back into the water he fell.

 

Plucking notes, singing sweetly

she played her new Lyre.

 

'Well you can just go down to hell.'

A nice take on the ancients with a modern feel (: Bacchus is my favorite of all mythological Gods!

Men with one track minds! ? Who needs them! Light and fun. The rhymes flow nicely. One thing, 4th stanza - should the last 2 words be 'perceive me' ?

Great job Rose

HAHA. It is quite funny. From the start even. Nice names involved.
The construction holds a strong effect
