What's In A Name, Amphictyonis? Poem by gershon hepner

Amphictyonis drank a liter
of wine, so she was called Demeter.
Bacchus loved to use disguises,
and changed his name from Dionysus.
I only use a single version
of my name. They call me Gershon,
though some best friends still call me Gershy,
perhaps since I once lived in Hershey,
where world’s worst chocolate still is made
with name that boldly is displayed
so proudly by those who’ve not been
to Switzerland, on whose I’m keen.
