THE LITTLE GROUP GIVES A PAGAN MASQUE
The Little Group gave a party
And all of the gods were there,
From Thor to Miss Susan Astarte
With doo-daddles gemming her hair,
Bill Baldur and Jane Aphrodite,
Dick Vishnu and Benny O'Baal,
And Bacchus came on in a nightie
With little pink snakes on the tail;
Latin, Phœnician and Hindu,
Norse and Egyptian and Chink….
Castor was watching his Twin do
Stunts, with a brotherly wink….
Persephone swearing by Hades….
A Norn and a Sibylline Simp….
A Momus, who showed to the ladies
The latest Olympian limp.
Was Hermione present? By Crikey!
(This Crikey's a Whitechapel joss)
