The Odyssey

It’s rated R, but still we took
Our grandson to the show.
He isn’t quite 13, but he 
Was hankering to go.

He’s up on his mythology
And smarter than a whip,
Plus his dad gave his approval,
Which allowed the scales to tip.

The movie was amazing 
And the violence I’d feared 
Wasn’t more than he could handle,
So my worries disappeared.

What a wonderful experience!
Not much can quite compare 
With a cinematic wonder
Which, with Henry, we can share.
