Athena the Undergod


The hero of the strong, protector of the shore, 

Possidon chose his place to rule.

The underdog, but strong of heart and head,

Athena also knows she can rule. 

They desire the same position, the same job. 

He laughs at the girl who thinks she's strong.

A compitition it is, to find the best fit. 

Eaach give one gift,

the people see what they get.

Posidon's is one of great size but no use, He gave land and water but it wasn't fair.

Athena's is one of thought and is wise, She gave the gift of a garden for all the share. 

The compition ended, Posidon proclaimed he was beat. Athena did win, an undergod no more.
