I have already told you the story of Major
Now it's time for the tale of someone ill-natured.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
Our story today
Will still be the way
As to how the Ancient Greeks told it.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
Little Queen Cassie was a proud royal lassie
And she was nothing but sassy.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
One fateful day,
She had more than her say,
Said that no one could rival her sheer beauty,
Not even the sea nymphs, the Nereids.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
Poseidon was the god of the sea
And irritated by her boasting was he.
So he sent a monster,
By the name of Cetus
To ravage the kingdom 'til it was treeless.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
In an attempt to pacify the beast,
Cassie tied her daughter, Andromeda, to a rock by the sea.
Cetus was ready to devour the child,
When Perseus the hero, looked down and was surprised,
He swooped down to save her
And lived happily ever after, they were.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
Pleased were the gods
And they were sent to the heavens as stars.
However for Cassie, our proud little lassie,
Was tied to a chair before being thrown above.
And that is why,
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
Sometimes at night,
You'll see her being bound to a chair,
Still hanging upside-down.
