The prompt said, write something inspired by Homer
I dug up my Iliad and Odyssey
Reread the chapters I marked up in college
Watched Troy and a bit of Spartacus
Brad Pitt is amazing, but should Helen be blond?
Got totally in the mood
Looked up all the rhymes to Achilles
Came up with the rhyming scheme
Of course heroic hexameter
Crushed through 50 beautiful lines
Came back to the prompt
Noticed the picture of the big fat donut
