Pisces

a mother and son—
such a lovely pair—
did sit upon the bank,
sunning their skin so fair.

enjoying their lazy day
relaxing in the morning sun,
neither of them knew
of the danger to come.

interrupting their day and
destroying the peace at hand,
a giant rose from the river
and set his heavy foot on the land.

the pair did spy the foe
and for their lives did fear,
so changing into a pair of fish
they jumped into the water near.

to immortalize the event and
remind those near and far,
athena took their new forms
and placed them among the stars.
