Zeus's electric game


Zeus prepared in the locker room

Waiting for his next game 

He was a pro basketball player

Soon to be in the hall of fame

 

Zeus got to the court lightning fast

His electric moves kept defenders on their feet

But the fans seeing him play

Kept them on the edge of their seat

 

Zeus had the ball in his hands

He was ready to play

But he had no idea

Who was coming today

 

His rival Hades

Had emerged on the court

He challenged him 

“Play me at your own sport”

 

“You’re on Hades” 

Zeus said to his foe

“But after this game

You’ll only feel woe”

 

And so it began

As the ball was tipped

Zeus had the ball

Until he tragically slipped

 

Hades fired away 

Firing the first shot

However he fell victim

To a thunderous swat

 

Zeus made his shot

Scoring again and again

It wasn’t long before Hades

Fell to his brethren

 

And with that the game ended

A blowout at its finest

As Zeus was left

As the one true dynast
