Agamemnon is a Jerk


"There's something rotten in this place,"
Cried brave Achilles danely.
"It's Agamemnon's leadership
That stinks, to put it plainly.

"The gall he has to ask my help
Absolutely floors me.
I will not raise my sword for him,
Though loudly he implores me.

"He keeps Briseis for himself.
He doesn't treat me fairly.
I hope that Hector cracks his head
Roundly, soundly, squarely.

"May the ill he had grow double,
May the woe he had increase.
May the Trojans kick his royal Aegis
All the way to Greece.

"And should we build a Trojan horse
The enemy to assail,
I've reserved a royal spot for him
Just beneath the tail."
