The Boy And The Beast

In the wake of the destruction of the town
The beast slowly walked away
Satisfied that it had destroyed it's enemies
The dark and dismal day just befor dawns early light
The true devastation of the towns undoing became all to clear,

Only a handful of the towns folk men still remained
The women and children hid away from the destruction
Something had to be done about the beast
A champion had to be found one that was brave and strong
But no man would come forward to slay the beast

One boy raised his hand, and declared he would go
One small and lonely lad
Not even big enough to sit astride his horse
Let me! he declared I will slay the beast, you will see
But only laughter was there heard from the remainder of the town,

I well go anyway I will show them that i am strong
So he grabbed a sword and mounted a horse
And rode through the night to his demise
As he found the beast and challenged his foe
The beast fought well and moved with ease,
But the beast was beaten and slain to the ground
By a very brave boy named
Hercules.
