Game 65

CHI 91               MEM 101

According to Greek legend
This world was first inhabited
By a race of giants

These giants
Ruled by a pair of brother-kings
Lived thousands of years in peace

The brother-kings
Wise strong and fair
Were loved the world over

But this love angered Zeus
Who felt scorned
And forgotten

In his cunning
Zeus created a game of skill
To separate the brother-kings

Simple and elegant--
One Ball
Two hoops

The prize
A golden goblet
The nectar of the Gods

Now these brothers--
Once kings--
Are gladiators

Entertainers
For gods
And men
