Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Polyphemus


Polyphemus, Cyclops, I be

Assaulted by Odysseus,

Who came with crew to visit me.

But then he made such a foul fuss

When I began to eat his crew,

Which I told him was no big deal.

It's just something we Cyclopes do,

Cuz humans make a tasty meal.

So Odysseus got me drunk,

Then took a wooden stake he had,

Which into my one eye he sunk.

This of course made my mood go mad.


Odysseus, a bad blind date.

I wish he'd been the first I ate.
