Seth and Horus
Horus- overachiever and academic
Got into his favorite college for his brain and athletics.
His uncle Seth- a failure and basement dweller
Lived in his brother’s house and drained the beer cellar.
Seth was jealous of Horus
And his certificates of papyrus.
That he approached the poor boy
Ungrateful and annoyed.
Seth whined and threatened him
Pestered him for being young and slim.
His brother Osiris was not kind nor happy
And banished him for being harmful and nasty.
Seth, power hungry and petty
Wished to have the wealth they had already.
He devised a plan to steal their riches
For a new life, power and britches.
He tried to steal from their giant safe
But Horus stopped him before it was too late.
Seth ended up going to jail,
Cursing his family and having no bail.
He looked at Osiris’s legacy
Horus inheriting power and luxuries.
He started blaming the “establishment”
All while receiving a hefty punishment.
