The Mythical Cornucopia

All around the horn and neatly placed inside.
A battle of the fittest, a chance to seek a bride.
The mythical Cornucopia, a consecrated piece.
Sought by all the Gods, a broken horn from a beast.

A cheat became a bull, a legacy now it warns.
If you mess with the bull will you get or take its horns?
Maybe it came from Zeus the answers not quite clear.
I just set mine on the table with some turkey and a beer.

It might be filled with fruit depending on beliefs.
In Colorado it might be pot to give some good relief.
However, it got its start, it’s now a symbol and very trendy.
Whomever may possess one will live a life that’s good and plenty.
