Zeus The Father Of Splitting Headaches Poem by Terence George Craddock

Zeus the undisputed
mythical legendary
father of headaches
the splitting headache
a headache never surpassed
a headache to birth a goddess
a headache to birth a daughter
a headache to birth a warrior

Athena sprang from Zeus's
head fully armed and clothed
born from her father's head
leaving Zeus with a colossal
splitting headache of legendary scale
making a migraine pale

into mortal insignificance
from the heads of mortals
ideas are birth born
from the head of Zeus
a goddess was born?
