Thank You Prometheus
Hercules did not come along for years
Howling of an Olympian beagle
So nightly Prometheus had his fears
Daily arrival of dreaded eagle
Zeus was enraged that man now had fire
Prometheus knew he would pay the price
Consequences were daily and dire
Having your liver eaten is not nice
He gave them the skills of metalwork too!
Prometheus had really done it now.
Angry Zeus now did not know what to do.
Should he have him eaten by dairy cow?
The trickster did us a favor of course.
How else could we now shoe our happy horse?
