Penelope?

Who?

I’m a little busy, with um…

You know who.

Don’t tell Hera please, or what, you ask?

I’ll leave it at it’s a minor task

To turn you into the most delicate thing

And simply crush you beneath my ring.

And Helen, that beauty, overshadows her much

Penelope never got anything, not a look, not a touch

Helen was the root of all evils, and of the War

Penelope was graceful, and forevermore

Intelligent and conniving and intriguing too…

Maybe “knowing” her will turn to “knew”

Either way, I’m too busy to be bothered with mortal burdens galore

*Pst* Hermes, tell Helen I’ll meet her at the Olympus backdoor.
