Hera put her foot down.
Zeus didn’t understand her frown:
“It was just a night on the town!”
It was never the last time,
Though he swore it on every dime

And thoughts are spoken,
I leave with a heavy heart most times its broken.

Kings and Queens forgotten?,
Seek thy legends and stories of realism,
Dare we look upon ....the twelve Olympians?
Hence the age of 2019,
Hera, goddess of family and marriage
“Marriage?” she claims, “I disparage!”
How foolish of me to think that I am not worthy enough to triumph by my own strength.
Keep that man at arm’s length!
Finally President of the United States,
Zeus was pleased with himself.
Or at least he might have been, had his wife not found out that he had cheated on her.

Give me that, let me help you.
Stop and listen before you dig a hole I can't get you out of.
You're stubborn.
No, I'm determined.
You're cynical.
No, I'm cautious
You're a sore loser.
No I'm competitive.
I can go all day with this
