Herodotus Climbs Ladder of History
Herodotus climbs ladder of history
Every time he does it he falls off
But he does not break his back
And does not lose scrolls of Ulysses

As historian I too love ladder climbing
But do you know how many times,

And snatched my scrolls of history?...

History

Herodotus was first to write
     humanity’s ancient story. 
Horrific tale of weak and might,
    heritage of mankind’s glory. 

Happenings mark important times,
    honoring heroes in their prime.
Memories when we look behind.
    The who and why become defined.
