when Enkidu discovered sex is fun,
he left his Eden, never to go back.
Cast out like Adam, once the deed was done;
his brother wolves reject him from the pack.
The woman's favors didn't mean a thing;
she'd done for him like any other trick.
But now he's caught the eye of Uruk's king
who's totally enamored of this hick.
As close as Achilleus to his friend,
these two would do what one would never dare.
Sweet partnership that only Death could part,
when Gilgamesh, bereft would taste despair.
A buddy screen-play from a distant age
still plucks the heartstrings with each time-worn page.
