The Sacred Brunch

Penelope took Eris' Gift and set it aside

And thought not of judgement or choices,

So when no clean utensils were found borrowed Athena's blade

from her pack. And wove together ingredients.

The bitter apple tasted alone would curse, but Penelope had been wise,

and guided by the three goddesses had brought

better offerings to the place of judgement.

And when it came to the cooking, Athena spoke, saying,

Hey, whatever you're making smells great to me.

So with the offerings brought did Penelope create

the greatest of Brunches, with many choices,

And while jests were made upon the sacred table,

Hera did admonish Penelope not to get greedy.

and Penelope smiled sweetly, saying

All right, that's enough of the Peanut Gallery.

So Aphrodite did bring the assembly to the matter at hand, asking,

Hey, what happened to that apple? We really need to deal with that.

And upon the clean dishes no trace of the apple could be found
