Scorpius Poem by Ima Ryma

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.
