The Story of Percy Jackson
An Awesome Poem by an Awesome Girl: Michelle Sullivan
Percy Jackson is a totally average person,
His life is not cool and he doesn’t have fun.
He’s got ADHD and dyslexia, doesn’t that suck?
His mom is nice but his step dad’s a shmuck.
Percy is 12 and he doesn’t know his full potent-ial,
Probably because his school is horrible and really dull
His teacher turns out to be a huge creepy monster,
She wants to kill him, so he’s dead meat for sure.
Percy’s best friend who’s crippled and pathetic,
Teams up with his teacher who seems really sick,
Mr. Bruner, his teacher, is actually a centaur,
From a land called Greece, which is really far.
Percy’s whole world is turning upside down,
He’s sad and confused and he just wants to frown,
But Grover, his cripple friend, takes him home,
While he decides that his emotion is enough to write a poem
Both friends arrive at Percy’s little house,
Where his step dad is looking like one big louse.
He’s greedy and bossy and smelly to-boot,
And his hair was greasy right down to the root.
Percy and Grover felt for his mother, Sally,
Who was sweet, helpful and totally lovely.
But there wasn’t much they could do for her,
Cause they were just 12, and they couldn’t murder.
Grover spoke to Percy’s mom, and they all got in the car,
They were going somewhere that was very very far,
They said it would be totally “safe and sound,”
Percy was confused, he wanted to cry with no one around.
They were driving on back roads when something started to follow,
Something that was big and made you want to hide and lie low.
It was the Minotaur and it was out to crush them to bits,
Percy started to panic and have hyperventilating fits,
The Minotaur picked up the car and tossed it off the road,
Everyone was scared, and they all went into run-mode.
They ran to a nearby hill with a tree at the top,
Percy, Grover, and his mother were so scared they wanted to pop.
The Minotaur followed after them and got a hold of Sally,
It was raining and it was dark and hard for Percy to see,
He charged at the beast with a sword that I forgot to tell you about,
Percy had never used a sword and Grover had much doubt,
But he fought with the beast, killed it and took a horn,
Then Grover led him over the hill to a camp where he could mourn,
His mother was dead and he was hurting and confused.
In his eyes, he fought with the Minotaur and totally loozed.
His mother had been driving him to the camp Grover came from,
A place called Camp Half-Blood that looked anything but dumb
Walls of lava and obstacle courses, like it was some sort of training place.
Percy wanted to check the place out so he wiped the tears from his face.
He met a girl, Annabeth, who was blonde with gray eyes,
The kind of eyes that look into your soul and know all your lies.
She was nice and happy and she showed him around the facility,
And said to him, “everyone here is just like you and me,”
Percy was totally lost, but he liked that she said they were alike,
“we’re both half greek god,” Percy waited for someone to yell “Psych!”
Percy was confused and around Annabeth he felt self-conscious and fat.
He soon found that his ADHD and dyslexia were for Greek language and combat.
She showed him to a cabin where he was to sleep,
It was full of people who made him feel glad he had nothing to keep,
They were sons and daughters of Hermes and they steel all you own,
He was sad about the full cabin, he wanted to sleep alone,
Percy is sad because he doesn’t know who is father might be,
He does not want it to be Hermes, but that’s all he can see.
He’s confused because people treat him likes he’s special,
He’s annoyed and oh so very skeptical,
One day after a couple weeks of totally intense training,
They tell him they’re playing Capture the flag, it’s a tradition thing,
He gets ready and they go into the woods to play, every student,
They said, “no killing,” and Percy was scared of what they really meant.
A kid named Luke told him a brilliant plan, then left him alone,
Percy was scared of the children of Ares, he wanted to moan,
He didn’t want to stay there so he went to find the flag,
He was going to win the game, then Annabeth wouldn’t treat him like a rag,
Annabeth was on the opposite team, so if he won, they would lose,
But he didn’t care, she would see he was cool and had an ability to amuse.
Soon he found the flag, surprised it was unguarded,
He crossed a small stream, the line between the teams, or so they had said.
Annabeth appeared out of nowhere, a sword to his throat.
He feared for his life and his belongings, and the will he never wrote,
They got in a fight and Annabeth was totally winning,
Then he fell in the water and felt so good he could sing,
He made a wave with his mind and doused her in water,
He felt totally cool and magical like Harry Potter.
Then a shimmery sign appeared above his head,
He looked up at it and his body turned to lead,
It was the sign of Poseidon, which meant he was his dad,
He leapt on the inside and was no longer sad
He had a cabin to himself, and his dad was somebody,
Not a nobody-god, but he was one of the Big Three!
Then Mr. Bruner, or Chiron, told him something important
Zeus, his uncle, wanted him dead, Percy thought, “He can’t!”
Oh yes, Zeus, the terrible boy, he thought Percy was a thief,
And if Percy tried to fight him he might be turned to beef!
Percy hadn’t stolen anything; he’d been terribly framed!
But no matter, cause Zeus wanted him terribly maimed.
Percy had to prove that he was completely innocent,
If he didn’t he would die, and that couldn’t have been meant.
He would find what was stolen and give it back,
But time was running out, Zeus wanted him on the rack,
Percy decided to try and find his mother, while he was out,
Even if she turned out to be on a different route.
Percy got to the choice of two people to take with him,
So he chose Annabeth and Grover, even though he was a little dim.
So off they went to find Zeuses master lightning bolt,
The whole idea gave him quite a jolt.
On their way they taveled real far, got played by many a-god,
Killed lots of monsters and Percy found out he could communicate with cod.
They almost fought with Ares and they almost fell into Tartarus,
And sometimes they got so annoyed they just wanted to cuss.
But they didn’t because they’re kids and it’s a kids book,
Then they got to Hades and walked through it, however long it took,
And they found Hades and told him to give Percy’s mother back,
Then they found out Hades had played them too, the bolt was in their backpack.
So they went to Olympus and Percy met his dad,
And saw that Zeus wore a pinstriped suit, which actually didn’t look bad.
He gave back the bolt and he got back his mom,
Then he talked to Poseidon and found out he was a ticking time bomb,
Or maybe he found that out later, I really don’t know,
Then he went back to camp and told Annabeth he loved her so,
But that might be the last book, its hard to say,
Cause that’s all he was thinking, every day.
Then he talked to this guy Luke,
Who sometimes just makes me want to puke,
Cause he covered Percy with scorpions and left him to die,
And so Percy got bitten, was poisoned and died, Oh my!
That may not have happened but its way more exciting,
But it does make the series much less inviting.
Killing the main character before the end of book one?
I’ll stop with these terrible spoilers, I promise I’m done,
But Luke did try to kill him and he does make me puke,
But before he did he told him the truth, oh luke…
He told him that he was the lightning thief,
And Annabeth had a crush on him, which gave Percy much grief.
And so the book ends, and you long for the next one,
So hurry to read it, its totally fun,
You’ll love every moment and soon you’ll be hooked,
All the way up till where Percy gets cooked…..
Ha.
