Robin Hood and Little John
Walkin' through the forest
Laughin' back and forth
At what the other'ne has to say
Reminiscin', This-'n'-thattin'
Havin' such a good time
Oo-de-lally, Oo-de-lally
Golly, what a day

Song from Robin Hood

Limos, the goddess of famine, breathed into Erysichthon's mouth and cursed him with insatiable, inhuman hunger. Why? Because he cut down a dryad's tree. This killed the dryad. He ended up eating himself. The gods don't play.
