We Are The Gods!
They call me Zeus, Lord of the sky,
I demolished Cronus with a charge of banzai,
I rule the world, the cold and the rain,
Fight against me, and I’ll leave you in vain.
I’m his brother Poseidon, god of the waters,
I’m the one who stops the mermaid slaughters,
I travel the seas and wield a trident,
Which is pretty much, an extra pronged bident.
Hello, I’m Hades, God of Death,
I paralyse mortals with my horrid breath,
Zeus is my brother and I try to be cool,
But I’m really rude and he’ll call me a ghoul.
We’re the three “brotherly” Gods of Ancient Greece,
Because of us, the world is in peace,
Mount Olympus is where we dwell,
But we have other homes in heaven and hell!
