In the myths and tales of ancient minds.

Aren’t as soothing as age-old stories.

Bacteria, germs and viruses.
4.Myths and spooks of ancient folks
Were perhaps their dreams and jokes.
5.Myths were stories serious
To explain the world that’s around us.
6.Who take mythologies as really true,
Can get wild and combative too.
7.Myths are often tales delightful:
Deep-felt visions, oft insightful.
8.The most ancient gods in human history
Are filled with magic, myth and mystery.
9.We accept the God of our kin and kith;
What others worship, we call a myth.
10.Myths see the world in terms too stark:
As good and bad, as light and dark.
