The Deity Banquet
 
Every year, all of the popular deities
Come together to have a large feast.
 
There is Orpheus, using his lyre
To create beautiful music,
With Nyx singing backup,
While Jesus performs his water-to-wine trick,
With Dionysus drinking the results.
 
Odin and Zeus, meanwhile,
Would watch their sons,
Thor and Hercules respectively,
Spar each other to see
Who is the stronger individual.
 
Metatron and Mithra can often be seen
Conversing between each other,
While Cu Chulainn and Susanoo
Trade stories of their exploits
Within the field of battle.
 
Kartikeya and Ares would often
Trade battle strategies for mock wars,
While Kikuru-Hime mediates their debates,
And Athena simply listens in
On their conversations.
 
Yet none of them can ever anticipate
Lucifer and Loki hiding in the back
Plotting how to trick Shiva
Into sleeping with someone
That isn't Parvati.
