Achilles: The Real Story

A vital, life-concluding spot
Achilles' heel was surely not,
Which makes the tale of his demise
Appear to be a pack of lies.

But think on this: Were you to stand
On one leg, over lumpy land,
Within a swaying two-wheeled cart,
Attempting to remove a dart,

And thus engaged, it came to pass
You hit a rock....you'd bust your ass.
(Which may be how Achilles died,
All legendary crap aside.)
