Prompt: Brontide
If you’re an epic hero in need of advice
Listen to me to maintain paradise
If the gods you want to romance
Make an order before you dance
First, start with the god of thunder
Then you’ll avoid being torn asunder
As when you romance a new beau
He can’t come and cause you woe
Because, when he marches countrywide
He is proceeded by the brontide
So when you hear the thunder rumble
You know to end your current fumble
Be it with Aries, Aphrodite, or Calliope
You’ll have plenty of time to dress and flee
No matter the field, chamber, or bed
You’ll always stay one step ahead
So if you have a pantheon of gods to romance
Don’t be hasty and take a chance
First, have thrills with Thor
And then move on and conquer more.
