Rome Inc.


Saturn was once the CEO of Rome, Inc.

And he ruled the corporation with an iron gauntlet.

He never worried that someone might want his ship to sink

Who would ever be so dauntless?

 

What he didn’t understand, that wicked old Saturn

Was that his employees did not appreciate his deeds.

One in particular had begun to notice a pattern:

Saturn never cared about his worker’s basic needs.

 

The strike was led by none other than Saturn’s own son

Jupiter was his name, but he wasn’t the only one.

Other gods soon agreed something needed to be done

But they all knew this change wouldn’t come easy; it had to be won.

 

One day Jupiter approached Saturn

And made his opinion clear.

When Saturn didn’t listen

He dragged him from his chair.

 

Jupiter was now the acting CEO

Of a newly reformed Rome Inc.

He had a team of advisors, including Neptune and Apollo

Who made sure he always kept his and his worker’s desires in sync.
