Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Colossus of Rhodes

I am Helios, god of sun,

Patron god of the island Rhodes.

When fierce take over siege was done,

Rhodians thanked me for bestoweds,

And built a Colossus statue

Of me made of metal and stone,

A very nice gesture that true,

Made me the tallest statue known.

Quite an impression I did make,

And for a few decades I stood,

But then was tumbled by earthquake,

Blame Zeus - was never up to good.

Told Rhodians, don't bother mend,

Another quake Zeus would just send.
