I explained why, in the last post, I refuse to participate in Christmas. I will, however, participate in pagan winter solstice celebrations. In that spirit, I submit the lyrics to what has been a favorite in my family for six or seven years: "Faunus the Roman Goat-God," sung to the tune of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer."

Faunus the Roman Goat-God
Had a very rigid prick
And if you ever saw it
You would say it's quite a trick
All the other deities
Used to leer suggestively
They always wanted Faunus
To Join in the revelry

Then one frosty Saturnal
Juno made this call
"Faunus since you're hung so well,
Won't you ring my solstice bell?"
Then all the others pouted
And they muttered jealously
"Faunus, the Roman goat-god
Better save a turn for me!"
