THE LABORS OF HERACLES # 10: THE CATTLE OF GERYON

 

Heracles when driven mad by the goddess Hera

Murdered his three children and his wife Megara

The Delphic oracle punished him for the murders

By ordering him to perform the Twelve Labors

The labors were set by king Eurystheus his cousin

His tenth labor was stealing the cattle of Geryon

The three headed Geryon owned the herd of cattle

It was he and two headed Orthrus he had to battle

After clubbing the hound with just a single blow

Heracles stole the cattle dispatching Geryon also

HUMEROUS HUBBY

A husband is living proof

If any were needed

That a wife can take a joke

It could be conceded

CAP IT ALL

 

If the cap fits

Then wear it

If the shoe fits

Get another like it

LIAR LIAR

Everybody lies

Yes, everybody’s lying

But it doesn't matter

Since nobody listening 

SAFE AS SAFE

If flying is so safe

So safe you’re invulnerable

Why do they call?

The airport the terminal? 

SO SUPERIOR # 2

 

It’s ok to feel superior

To foreigners and heretics

As witchcraft plays little part

In British politics

YESH MUM

 

In a poll of the sexiest men of the last millennium

Sean Connery came top of the lot for my mum

This isn’t so much a poll though I would suggest

My mum considers it to be more of her to do list
