In Home Depot poor Thor was lost
and with his short term memory at a cost
as the God of Thunder didn't seem to know
the difference between a hammer and a garden hoe!

--

Behind the mystique of the silver screen
was a secret persona rarely seen
and from the art of seduction he ran for cover.
Rudolph Valentino was not much of a lover!

--

"Do not wash until I return my dear
when after the battle I have you near"
but this letter made Josephine recoil in fear
and she hoped her brave Napoleon would soon get here!

--

Drowsy Alexander wasn't so great.
As a conquering hero he requires debate
but history books relented and altered his fate
by conveniently forgetting he would sleep in late!

--

For the Grim Reaper this is entirely new
and the taxman himself dosen't know what to do
after the world self-destructed leaving only a few
to stand silently in the unemployment queue!
