Odysseus returning from Ilium
Was captured and put to use by Calypso
Who with astounding magic turned his crewmates
Into feral animals she could control
Goes to show the spirit of the dame
Is schizotypal, requiring two things at once
That the man be elevated above the game
Except he's a spaniel to her peculiar wants.
If I you were a goddess and I were a hero
Your magic making me serve every command
Would I act righteously or as ruthless evil
Waste me on the field or bring back your man?
I don't pretend to understand women's whims
Instead of fleeing wisely, I get closer in.
