So impressed was he by the poem he is memorizing that Captain Science was compelled to write his own Greek poetry:
Ares
Oh the war and pain!
Oh Oh it’s Ares
He is ruining the hall
In the sunshine terrace
It is so scary
He causes so much terror
I like this god
But Zeus is fairer
The rhyme scheme would be perfect if he had known “Ares” was pronounce “Aireez” not like “heiress.” Otherwise, not a bad poem to whip out on the fly like that!

New to your blog.
That’s a great poem! You reminded me of a serious lack of poetry in our curriculum, I’ll have to look into that.
I commented on your experience with the bookstore at A Little Rebellion, I was going to comment here as well but it would have been basically the same comment which seemed kind of spammy. Anyway, I’ve only read a bit of your blog so far (found it through another homeschool blog) but I like it so far!
Glad you’re enjoying it!
Wow!
