we're back in business

Hey, hip hop fans. Guess what I did this afternoon?


Then the words of the godlike Achilles were resoundin': 121
"O Atrides most fly, who loves to rule cash around him,
how are great-hearted Greeks gonna get that stack?
We know of no dough that was left unjacked
What we gittin' from settlements we sacked was split up 125
it's unfitting to get the men to stack that shit up
Yet to God you speak thus forth? However, your underlings
will pay back to the threes and fours, if ever Zeus the Thundering
gives us the well-walled city Troy to sack."
Then Agamemnon tells all, it's ya' boy right back: 130
"Achilles, like a god, though you may be a great G,
don't front in your thoughts-can't evade or persuade me
or try to keep a prize, while my pockets barren be,
and plan to command my ass into charity!
If these Achaean heroes, yet, are givin’ me a prize 135
I decree got equal zeroes when they chip in Gs to buy-
but hell, if they will not, I’ll jack something precious
from your stash, Achilles, Ajax, or Odysseus;
when I come to levy fines, he gon’ feel so irate, word,
but don’t pay no nevermind, we can deal with that later. 140
Let’s tow us a vessel that’s black to the tides;
get rowers assembled, and pack it with bribes
so Chryseis with the cheeks that are roundest gets all up ons.
The leader, he should be of good council when called upon:
Ajax? Idomeneus? Odysseus divine? 145
or you, son of Peleus, of all men most malign?
so you please with sacrifice the one who hits farthest.”
Then the fleetest cat replied with a look of grim darkness … 148
