Hej and Shej
Hej and Shej made everyone cry, and they did not care.
It was fun for them; for they were a mean god and goddess.
The sun observed their meanness during the day.
The moon rolled his eyes at their evening antics.
You are the best! Hej said to Shej.
Not, it is you! Shej said, giving him the high five.
You made more people cry today than I have irritated in a week.
Their antics were beginning to border on cruelty.
Let’s appeal to the Goddess of the Hemisphere, the sun said.
The moon agreed, and so they did.
The Goddess of the Hemisphere took their notes and shook her head.
I do not want them to disappear completely. Let me think on it.
The next day the sun appeared and the moon said
Before I go, I have to show you something.
God Hej and Goddess Shej turned to stone forever
Never bothering anyone again thanks to Goddess of the Hemisphere.
