Aphrodite, She's beautiful but flighty...
My cut steel sculpture "Aphrodite" exhibits Feb 7- March 1, 2020 at Roby King Gallery on Bainbridge Island in "A Trio of Print-makers". Opening reception is Tonight, Feb. 7, 6-8 pm. Aphrodite is the ancient Greek goddess associated with love, beauty, pleasure, passion and procreation.
I love the description of her in this version of “Give me that old time religion” made popular by folk musician Pete Seeger.
Shall I worship Zarathustra
just the way we use ta?
Be a Zarathustra Booster
What a thing to be! Or maybe Aphrodite
She’s beautiful but flighty
and doesn’t wear a nighty, now there’s a sight to see.
Or perhaps I’ll choose Apollo
a decent god to follow
I’d grovel and I’d wallow
Brought low on bended knee.
Elohim or Yahweh?
Allah or the highway?
I think I’ll just go my way.
That’s good enough for me.
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
.... It's good enough for me!
