The Leviathan

The Leviathan was, if you should wish
To call him so,-the King of Fish.
Though having neither gills nor scales,
His title should be Prince of Whales.
While too small waisted to provide
The Leviathan has been known to pack
A Drowning Sailor on his back
And bear him safely into port,-
He was a Taxi, in short.

The Phoenix

The Phoenix was, as you might say,
The burning question of his day:
The more he burned, the more he grew
Splendiferous in feathers new.
And from his ashes rising bland,
Did business at the same old stand.
But though good people went about
And talked, they could not put him out.
A wondrous bird-indeed, they say
He is not quite extinct to-day.

Cerberus

Dear friend, should you chance to go
To the devil down below
You're see Cerberus at the gate,
His anger will not wait
Don't say "Good dog!" and hope thereby
His three ferocious Heads to pacify.
What though he try to be polite
And wag his Tail with all his might,
How shall one friendly Tail
Against three angry Heads prevail?
The Heads must win.-What puzzles me
Is why in the devil's home there should be
A Watch dog; all that I could do was surmise,
Isn't this the last place anyone would burglarize.

A Poem about the Phoenix

Beautiful, glorious and sacrificing self for renewel,
you build a pyre and set yourself ablaze. For the
sake of self. Red bird of fire you come forth through
your ashes a new bird shedding the old self which no
longer is needful. You embrace your new strength and
fly to the heights of the sky to the city of the sun and
give the ashes unto the alter of the sun god for your
immortality. Embrace yourself for you are a child of
the sun and will live eternal through birth, death, and
renewal! The spirt never dies!

Hydra

  • A Hydra is a SEVEN headed Creature.
  • It is the offspring of a Amphisbaena & a Dragon.
  • When you cut a Hydra's head 2 will grow in it's place.
  • The middle head can breathe Fire & any head that grows in it's spot.
  • All other heads can spew poisonous goo.
  • Hydra's blood is one of the most poisonous substances in the world.
  • The most famous Hydra is the Lernaean Hydra who faced Heracles.
