Phaeton

Phaeton

Zeus of his fiery chariot did boast,
His pride, immortality did roast.
Often, he rode on it to the earth,
Visited Athena, and pale death.
Phaeton had observed sire close,
He hungered to on the chariot rode.
But his sire would often reply:
"Thou, canst control the chariot's sigh"
There then a day came; phaeton's day.
Fed his Pa, till he in pleasure lay.
And there then, took hold: the chariot,
And to earth, boastfully he sought.
        Alas, the chariot heaved a sigh,
        Both Phaeton and earth you denied.
Note: Inspired by one of Alexander  Pope's poem.
