The Greek and Trojan war was fought,
For Helen's beauty, wars were brought.
The armies clashed, the swords rang out,
Blood was spilled, with each fateful bout.
Odysseus with his cunning mind,
And Hector brave, the Trojans find,
Achilles with his deadly spear,
And Paris, whose love caused much fear.
The battle raged on, day by day,
With no end in sight, the war did stay,
Till finally the Greeks devised a plan,
A wooden horse, to fool the Trojan clan.
The Trojans fell for the cunning trick,
They let the Greeks in, thinking it was a gift,
And so the Greeks, in the dead of night,
Attacked the Trojans, and won the fight.
The war was over, Troy defeated,
Their walls destroyed, their victory depleted,
But the story lives on, of the brave and the bold,
Of the heroes of old, whose stories are told.
