Lovely Psyche awakes from a dream / to the sound of a musical “scream.” / The quartet is to blame. / They’ve mistaken her name, / playing Herrmann’s intense “Psycho” theme.
“Wake up, LittleSuzie !”, sang they/ and she did – to her utter dismay../ and each singing lad/ was ever so glad/ that they’d hidden her clothing away.
When the band got the gig, well, surprise! / T’was required of them that their eyes / Should be raised to her hair / And damn well be kept there! / T’was a burden to them, I surmise.
" Come on, guys! Knock off the noise! I’ve got a headache that’d kill ten Trojans, a mouth like the Athenian sewers, my stomach’s burning like Santorini, and I can’t remember who, in the name of Dionysus I was with last night! For Hade’s sake, gimme a break! SHUT UP!! "
It’s a tiny abdominal bulge/ which will probably shortly divulge/ the death of a rabbit/ and the unpleasant habit/ in which Psyche is prone to indulge.
Psyche roused and sat upright to see / a quartet “club” that woke her with glee. / Though their music was mellow, / Psyche stopped them to bellow: / “Quick, get outta my way! Gotta pee!!”

This Athens teen garage band
will come to your house and demand
a standard remittance,
really, a pittance,
then play all the tunes you can stand.

By today’s standards, if this were a photograph, and you were caught with it, you’d be imprisoned, and branded for life as a sex predator.
