Abacus of the Gods ÷ 2

Limerick(s) of the Week

By Gerard DiLeoPublished 3 years ago • Updated 3 years ago • 1 min read

You forgot to carry the one.

The god of wine wanted to spread

His seed with a mortal, alone in her bed

She conceived, for him, a son

Who did the math on Mum

But you can't divide a god by a zed

His abacus' quotient was demigodly

When assigned to genetic methodology

So he divided to conquer

Extrapolating yonder

And multiplied his progeny's mythology

His offspring came from romances

Via irrational numbered advances

He said he was full

And not -demi, until

His line stretched in quartered expanses

His bloodline was salaciously intent

To increase Olympic fractions' ascent

If only they could lay

A full goddess every day

The bastards could pass 60 percent

Retired, not tired. Hippocampus, behave!

Make me rich! https://www.amazon.com/Gerard-DiLeo/e/B00JE6LL2W/
