Odyman Words by Zion Valencic © Feb 2025 TTTO Wellerman by Nathan Evans and SantianoThere once was a man who went to war, To fight Trojans in days of yore, The horse went in, vict’ry came out Homeward, my Greek army. Soon may Odysseus go, Across the ocean and the world below. He’ll fight monsters and angry gods To reach Penelope. Upon the sea, great hunger struck, They found a cave with sheep to pluck. The Cyclops guard, they blinded fast Angered the sentient sea. Soon may Odysseus go, Across the ocean and the world below. He’ll fight monsters and angry gods To reach Penelope. A clever witch turned men to swine, Circe and Ody intertwine. She has a plan to get men home: A dead seer who can't see. Soon may Odysseus go, Across the ocean and the world below. He’ll fight monsters and angry gods To reach Penelope. Tirearseus saw Ody’s fate, Two titans on his path await, Seven dead to Scylla’s heads Or an all-dead guarantee. Soon may Odysseus go, Across the ocean and the world below. He’ll fight monsters and angry gods To reach Penelope. Next they reached a sacred isle, Where holy cows hunger beguiled A slaughtered cow, a murdered crew, Six hundred killing spree. Soon may Odysseus go, Across the ocean and the world below. He’ll fight monsters and angry gods To reach Penelope. A shipwrecked Ody came a shore Calypso’s Island evermore. For seven years, she loved him there ‘til Hermes set him free. Soon may Odysseus go, Across the ocean and the world below. He’ll fight monsters and angry gods To reach Penelope. There once was a man who went to war, He came home windswept and worn. Disguised he passed his lover’s trial, Killed suitors, no mercy. Oh, yes, Odysseus went, Across the ocean, through death’s descent. He fought monsters and angry gods This was his Journessey.
