It got a little Messi
At the medal distribution
When Zeus kissed Lysistrata
To renew the revolution.
The Spanish maids of soccer
Are rewriting Athens’ story
While The Frogs croak in unison
Of former Aztec glory.
In riposte to the wisdom
Of his birdbrained cuckoo chorus
The playwright Aristophanes
Replies and queries for us:
‘Ere Agamemnon bathed with
His cheating wife’s blade in his bath,
Montezuma’s mare “Revenge”
Nixed all the cholos in her path!
Eumenides of La Roja
Would Orestes be remiss
To turn defeat into a
Pyrrhic victory with a kiss?’
