The Greeks construct a horse from wood;
they look at it and say, "It's good!"
Laocoon sees right through the trick.
He starts to attack the horse with a stick!
Cassandra comes out and says, "Agree!
This horse is way too big for me!"
A snake comes with a wooden spoon,
and it begins to crush Laocoon.
Poseidon's beast is twisting the man.
His sons jump in and lend a hand.
But the beast crushes tighter and tighter.
Soon the family is smaller than a cigarette lighter.
The Trojans are awed. "This is a sign!
It's so inspiring, it must be divine."
They drag the horse within the walls,
And think it signals the end of the war.
They think they've driven the Greeks away,
And found a way to make them pay.
They celebrate with a great feast.
They think that they have killed the beast.
And in the night Helen comes
And whispers to the hidden ones.
She calls to Odysseus in the voice of his wife:
"Come back! Come back, O my life!"
She also speaks in tones of honey
To all the men within the tummy.
As dusk falls, they all come out,
Being careful not to shout.
The ships come back to the land,
Everything is as was planned.
The city gates are thrown wide open.
All the Grecian armies lope in.
They set fire to the place.
All the buildings are ablaze.
The Greek soldiers plunder, the Trojans scream;
Who was torn away from the statue of Athene?
Menelaus goes inside
The place where Deiphobus resides.
Menelaus shouts, "You hare!"
to Deiphobus, who is there.
He decapitates the prince
With a blow that'll make you wince.
Helen would've suffered the same fate,
But Odysseus saves her not too late.
"Remember you'd grant me my wishes.
Keep your promise, or you'll do the dishes!"
Menelaus spares his wife
and takes her back into his life.
Here lies the ruins that once was Troy.
Only ghosts can live in this dark void.
And here I now put down my pen,
And solemnly declare: THE END.
