Hestia's Kitchen Rhyme
My name is Hestia and I love the hearth
No one can hold a cooking class like mine on the Earth
I am a modest girl who loves the home
When I cook and clean I am in the zone
I’m good at hosting parties, galas, and more
Don’t bring any unnecessary conflict to my front door
People say I’m too quiet, shy, and reserved
But I don’t need to speak to be heard
My name is Hestia and I love the hearth
I was an Olympian Goddess by birth
Maybe I shouldn’t have given the throne to my brother
But my siblings annoy me
So let them fight each other
People worship me for protecting their homes
They bow at my flames, and praise my name
I’ve never been married or had any brats
Babies are cute, but who wants to deal with all that?
Poseidon and Apollo both wanted to marry me
But whoever I didn’t pick would turn against me
My name is Hestia and I love the hearth
I liked being invisible on Earth
Before you say in History Class how I am so boring
Just remember, if it wasn’t for me
Your family wouldn’t be so tight-knit if I hadn’t been so green
