All gods any gods at all
Praying to Saint Joseph for a house Can’t wait until I’m old Something has gotta go Set-hippopotamus harpooned by the new pharaoh Battling for love of black cat Bast Handsome cow-eared Hathor music-eager Impassioned beyond, it’s majnun Decorating walls with wadjet symbols wallahi One-eyed Magi, enemies call me cyclops, those let survive feed my rep…
