Seeking Black

SEEKING BLACK A worn out time machine goes frightfully awry, Instead of arriving in Victorian era, I land with a bump, In a dark, deep, dingy, wet, smelly cave, tried to spy! Recognized Greek mythology, Medusa be kind to me! I hear screams, a shadow of head and snakes I see, Think back, don’t’ look, you’ll turn to stone, a black lump! Perseus my handsome Greek hero, where are you, Come this way soon, if not, for me there will be sorrow. She screams like a wild beast, will my fate be like the few? Suddenly I see Perseus with a shield and a sword, Shines his shield in Medusa’s face, hits the desired chord, Chops head with bloody sword, machine and I will see morrow!
