Diomede, he's good indeed  
the chariot -- he's best!  
hero worships, eighty war ships  
Homer lists the rest  
beat Aeneas, feared no Dios  
quitting, not his style  
wounded Ares -- (so embarrassed!)  
neither strength nor guile  
could defeat him -- Vulcan fit him

might have saved his ass  
with Odysseus, was busy as

but he somehow is unsung
