Food of the gods

87. I really, really like oranges. When eating one, I almost believe I'm eating ambrosia, or nectar, whichever one is the solid and not the liquid, you know.
88. I have my hearing and my vision can be corrected with contacts.
89. Nails or no nails, or an annoying combination of both, I have ten fingers.
90. Chioma has a unique way of phrasing things. (It tends to be very funny.)
91. Dr Keller always smiles at me from his seat when I'm entering or leaving assembly, even when I'm too frazzled to properly acknowledge him.
92. Kelly usually has to talk herself into getting out of the bed to brush her teeth before she goes to sleep.
93. I'm going to see Barry again.
94. Jeeves books are so funny.
95. Water is so yummy.
96. Jason calls Jenny "Spanky".
97. Courtney braided Kelly's hair.
98. Courtney capitalizes the most random words.
99. I like watching plays.
100. Jeremy lets me sit upside down on the recliner in his room.

95) I agree.

100) Sitting upside down on furniture just makes you feel good, doesn't it? I used to hang upside down off my bed while I talked on the phone.

what is the original food of the gods?

Amanda said...

Ambrosia and nectar.

Compiled from various sources:
In Greek mythology, ichor is the mineral that is the Greek gods' rarified and colorless blood, sometimes said to have been present in ambrosia or nectar. Ambrosia is forms on flowers as dew and is carried to heaven by birds. Nectar is red, and probably the solid. (Notably, a triumphator, who wears red face-paint, is the closest thing to divinity a mortal can be.) In any case, it is ambrosia and nectar that the gods consume, and if they were deprived of them they would become lie down breathless, spiritless and voiceless.

Hence my second poem.
