Beowulf Parody Introduction

Introduction

So, the dancers, in days gone by

Worshiped many heroes with their endless

Internet and the greatest of those was

Monya, of the earth, sky, water, and fire.

Monya, beloved daughter of Rose and Steve

Rose and Steve who together slew the great

Beast of Frisbee. Monya, from a long line

Of empowering men and powerful

Women. Great leaders and fighters and lovers.

And the greatest of them all was Monya.

Monya, who one day while in the tallest branches of an apple tree

Heard the call of the earth and sky

Saying “Come, play with us.

“There is much we would show you if you would listen.”

So Monya, lover of the dirt, packed her life

Into her silver chariot and drove

Into the setting sun.
