Poem Artwork

Damocles poised his sword over
my roof, and with one fell swoop,
whoosh!  it was gone in a rush of
-- no, that's not right.  Try again.

And then there was sticky Iccy,
who joined his Daddy in frying
too close to the sun (talk about
hot).  No, that's not it.  A g a i n.

Boreas!  North wind, no lights, no
aurora (how'd you like that one?)
of Spring.  Thought it was, he said
otherwise:  make up yer -- WHAT?

Can't go wrong with ol' Zeus.  Now
there was a god.  Supreme ruler.
Controller of thunder!  Lightning!!
Rain!!!  Tick him off, you'll know --

aww, man!  Teacher said I flunked.
Don't know why we have to know
who these people are, what they 
did -- all Greek (mythology) to me!!

Nothing silly in this brief excursion into ways (foibles)
of the Greek. Karla, me thinks the teacher should be flunked.
