After reading Larry Niven's _Dream Park_, I wrote down a few songs sung
by some of the "Adventurers." Here they are:

_Old Time Religion_
It was good enough for Odin,
Though that croakin' was forebodin',
'Till at last the Giants fode in;
Still it's good enough for me!

(Chorus):
Gimme that old time religion,
Gimme that old time religion,
Gimme that old time religion,
It's good enough for me!

Montezuma liked to start out
Rites by carrying a part out
That could really tear your heart out,
And it's good enough for me.
(Chorus)
It was good enough for Kali;
Though embracing her is folly,
She'd be quite an armful, golly!
So it's good enough for me.
(Chorus)
It was good enough for Isis:
She will help us in a crisis,
And she's never raised her prices,
So she's good enough for me!
(Chorus)

Any more?


_The Fighter's Lament_ (to the tune of the Beatles' "Norwegian wood")
I once had a sword, or should I say, it once had me.
I just picked it up, oh what a sword, it was plus three.
It's Ego was twelve, a fact of which I wasn't aware;
Then I tried to leave and I found that the sword didn't care; oh,

I walked through the halls, wasting my time, nothing to find.
Then I turned a corner, and then I sead, 'Oh no! Undead!'
The thirty-two Wights saw me coming and started to laugh;
And I closed my eyes as my sword started hewing a path; oh,

And when I awoke, I was alone, that sword had flown.
Now I use a club; isn't it good... no-ego wood.


What do you think? Anyone think of any more verses?

We will all meet Aphrodite,
She will greet us in her nightie,
Though she's kind of wild and flighty,
She's good enough for me!
