While lounging in the feasting hall at dusk,
after work all day crafting wagon tires,
I eat roasted steak and sip barley beer
with pleasure of the muscle-sore craftsman
who grins to watch beautiful women dance
to enchanting melodies of the lyre.

Across large hall of mural-painted walls,
that show scenes from the Fall of Ilium,
voice of some burly bearded guest booms loud
as he relates adventures of his trip
homeward after ten years fighting harsh war,
and I half-listen to his haughty boast.

With snicker bursting from my beer-full belly,
I doubt tall tale the scar-faced warrior tells
that, when trapped in large cave of gloomy fear,
he tricked the one-eyed giant with sly ruse
by clinging to belly of his fat sheep,
then mocked him after stabbing out his eye.

You are Nobody, I sneer with wry grin,
when he relates how he devised that name
to fool the blinded cyclops to declare
that Nobody escaped prison of his power,
because we hear proud travelers like him
boast of their prowess to impress the crowd.

While chuckling with contempt at boastful fool
who weaves fanciful yarns of his grand deeds
to awe the gullible with simple minds,
I feel cold shiver slither up my spine,
so I look up to see vain narcissist
glare down at me with fury in gray eyes.

Rising slowly to face conceited clown,
who prevaricates of his wily ways,
I return sharp glare of his blazing eyes
though he towers tall over my small frame,
then duck when he swings fist to punch my face
and slip free from grasp of his bear-paw hands.

More swift and lithe on limber legs of grace
I out-wit wily warrior of great deeds,
swift as the fox that fools the lumbering bear
till I trip his bull-thick legs with sly swipe
that knocks him down flat on his burly face,
so I sit on his head and pat his cheek.

Offering beer to snarling Odysseus,
I help him stand and lead him to his seat,
then listen as he relates sweet romance
how he won heart of kind Penelope
who waits for him with aching heart of hope
till we all sink into soul-drunken sleep.
