Leonidas had made a decision / which required steel nerves and precision. / Leo gripped his sharp blade, / grit his teeth and then made / himself Jewish by self-circumcision.
Spartans, partying here, later lost / to the Persians at very great cost. / Yet before that famed fight, / drunk and naked, all night / they aimed rings, but at what were they tossed?
When you’ve come to the end of your rope/ and there’s not the least vestige of hope/ the Spartan solution/ (it’s in their Constitution!)/ is to find someone naked to grope..
The genre of swords and sandals/ was refreshingly free from scandals/ while porn still holds a place/ not quite free from disgrace/ for the guy in black socks – with “love handles”.
Ever ask yourself what are all these naked people with weapons, but no armor, doing outside on what is apparently a grey and dismal day, and gathered in what looks like a cave entrance? This is neither an orgy nor a battle; it looks like a group of mentally ill folks, or perhaps a homeless camp under a highway overpass.

The Persians outnumbered the Greeks 20 to 1, so the Greeks hoped to temporarily shock them by showing up naked.

They orgied like no tomorrow
but found to their lasting sorrow,
pleasure was fleeting
when war gods were meting
out naught but “the horror, the horror.”
