To Trick a God

The god was as wild as the wind,

Nobody knew what he’d do next.

Not even him himself.

Hermes was always out and about,

In search of adventure.

And without a doubt,

The young god,

Was invested in many projects.

His favorite perhaps,

Was one of his firsts,

You see,

It was quite the infamous conquest.

The cattle was Apollo’s,

And Hermes a mere child,

To him,

The opportunity was nothing but golden!

Within the pasture,

Hermes guided the herd of cows to walk backwards.

It’d fool anyone who’d follow the trail,

Making it all the more funnier.

He’d fashioned a pair of hooves himself,

To conceal his very own footprints.

It was the perfect crime,

There was no evidence!

Apollo infuriated,

Went to Zeus demanding justice.

Zeus thought of Hermes,

Whose eyes had always twinkled with mischief.

He summoned the boy,

And demanded Hermes to apologize.

He did,

And in exchange for the cows,

Hermes gifted Apollo the lyre.

Lol “Magicians never reveal their secrets”

This one time I was at a street festival hosted by my Uni and there was a guy doing card tricks. I was watching him when I noticed he dropped a card. (7 of spades) I quickly pu my shoe in it and then bent down to act like I was tying my shoe. He then asks for a volunteer so I raise my hand. He asks me to say the name of a card at random so I say “7 of spades” he does his trick that I guess was supposed to make it come on top. He holds up the Ace of Hearts and says “is this your card?” And I hold up the card and said “no but this is” and the crowd LOST IT. I handed the card back to the magician and walked away. Later he comes up to me and asks me how I did it. I looked him in the eye, smiled and said “magicians never reveal their secrets” and walked away.
