Medusa, Stheno and Euryale were threats to each other.
Their mother had to caution them to use their snakes wisely.
Typical sisters, there was much hissing, spitting and biting.
Their sitter had her hands full as their snakes were venomous.
Why did the gods give you snakes instead of hair? She lamented.
Gaze into my eyes! Medusa said to the sitter, her sisters laughed.
They knew what would happen, and of course it did.
The sitter was turned into stone, like all of the neighbors.

Three sisters
Medusa, Stheno and Euryale
From Greek mythology
Winged women
With venomous snakes for hair
Two immortal, one not
King recruits Perseus to slay Medusa
The only mortal one
She happened to be pregnant
Out of her headless body sprang
Pegasus a winged horse
and a giant with a gold sword
Makes a terrific story
Do not gaze into Medusa’s eyes
Even though she has been beheaded
Or you might turn into stone

Gorgons were, sisters three,
Mortal, Medusa, be,
Stheno, Euryale feed,
Shared immortal breed.

Jabberwocky, unknown talk for vogon,
Thingamajig, a comparable jargon,
If you get confused
When it has been used
Don't be afraid to conjure the Gorgon.

Not the same races, but we can be one of a kind
Do you realized, when I see you, I lost my mind
Perseus, Perseus. Wherefore are we us?
My wild snakes needs to be tamed into a puss
You are my knight in a shining armor
I hope my hydra hair didn't create terror
Your eyes are petrifying me into a statue
Charming stranger, I give myself to you
Your chiseled jaw, rock hard and V-shaped torso
You leave me ecstatic as Euryale and stunned as Steno
Eros used the tip of your sword to pierce my heart
I can predict, our meeting will be celebrate as art
Poets will chant the day where we faced each other
Let's date, forget the sir-pants, so much to discover
You and me, riding a horse, flying in the sky
I can't feel the ground, with you I feel so high
I'm in your palm, I need your hand to hold me
Your baritone is my chorus, your love is my harmony
Just one kiss and my past hair would be back soon
Did you know about my anaconda tail during a full moon?
