AW,
BUT SIR
Awesome
spectacle, or God-awful mess?
What
part did Xena, Warrior Princess
Play
in the history of Ancient Greece?
She
never helped search for the Golden Fleece!
You’re
more inspired by Ray Harryhausen
Than
Homer, unless it’s Homer Simpson
You
have uppermost in your tiny mind.
Just
for the record, I think you will find
That
Virgil was a poet, not the pilot
Of
Thunderbird Two, and you’re talking rot
So
start to finish, so why don’t you go
To
the library not the video
Shop
section on sword and sandal epics.
Old
Steve Reeves movies are not biopics.
Forgive
me for sounding a little rude,
But
your work is awesome in its ineptitude
For
an academic dissertation.
Rewrite
it now without hesitation.
Read
the damn books. Don’t watch old films instead.
Put
all thoughts of Xena out of your head.
I
know it’s a labour of Hercules
But
I want this essay for Monday please!
