 Scorpius

I am called Scorpius and be

Best known for being the foe of

Orion in mythology.

And thus humans have little love

For us scorpions ever since.

Human Orion boasted that

He would kill all animals, hence

The gods did send me to combat

Orion which I did with sting,

Killing him, a reminder to

Humans to beware of boasting,

Which too often humans still do.

So Orion runs scared as I

Still chase him across the night sky.
