Horse

The Greeks gave the Trojans a beautiful
wooden horse as a peace offering

and the gullible Trojans
proceeded to wheel the horse

inside their fortifications
they did not realize

the Greeks had filled the Trojan horse
with poets

filled every nook and cranny
with poets

therefore posterity does not tell us
who won the war

but we do know that volumes upon volumes
of poetry were written

about what life was like
inside the rotting, wooden horse.
