Dear father Zeus, the ever-horny god;
Thank you for not keeping it in your pants,
And giving us the nine muses.
Dear mother Mnemosyne,
My greatest asset is my memory.
Help me to keep it.
Dear calliope, the “chief of all muses”;
Bless me with eloquence.
Dear Erato, the lovely god;
I find it difficult to write about love,
Help me to find love.
Thalia, the blooming god of comedy;
What is life without humour?
