The Maury Show, Featuring: The King of Gods himself
How can I make
My show more entertaining?
Who should I invite?
What idea should I take?
Would an actor do?
Nah, too cliche.
A singer, an artist, a writer?
No, no, no!
I need someone bigger,
Someone badder,
Someone whom everyone knows;
The World's biggest tricker.
I've got it!
A name that meets all my criteria!
I look in the phone book
To see just what the King of God's number may be.
It's better than I expected.
Every seat is taken,
Filled with Gods and mortals alike.
The anger in the air easily detected.
A quick sweep of the crowd
Confirms his suspicions,
Not a single male is present.
Zeus had persistently disavowed
Any relation to
The surplus of women who looked
At Zeus with utter disgust.
I was then given my cue.
I tear open the envelope and read,
"Zeus, with Themis's 6 kids,
You are the father."
Hera looked on with dread.
"When it comes to
Mnesoyne's 9 muses, you are the father."
I skim the list, every result is the same.
Whatever shall I do?
"Is there anyone here
Whom Zeus did not
Have associations with?"
A single hain goes in the air.
It was not the torch necklace
That gave her identity away,
But the three-headed Cerbrus
Asleep on her lap looking stressless.
Persephone looked upon the women,
Scratched behinf Cerbrus's ears, and said
"And you wonder why I am happy
Living with Hades in the Kingdom of Demons.
