Busting Rhymes (for Donald Justice)
James Bland
I.
Ajax only addressed Zeus as “Sir,”
Now Ajax is a toilet cleanser.
II.
I thought I saw a Greek goddess.
Turns out it was a dude in a dress.
III.
Jehovah: We bring good things to life.
Jason: Take my wife, please. Take my wife.
IV.
Nike, no one can run as fast as you.
I got it. Your name. Written on a shoe!
V.
Though the Trojans were gullible
and the Athenians won,
Don’t enter another’s body
without wearing one.
