RDP Tuesday: effort

Written for RDP, where Martha asks
us  get creative with the word “effort”.

By the gods! What kind of madness is this?!

Me, the great Sisyphus, King of Corinth,
punished for being an arrogant trickster!

If I’d know Zues and Thanatos had no sense of humor
whatsoever, maybe I would have reined it in a bit.

Maybe.

Is it my fault if they can’t take a joke?

I think not!

But this? Talk about taking things to the extreme!

What a royal pain in the ass!

By the time I get this monstrosity up the hill,
it rolls back down again!

It’s really not worth the freaking effort!

Excuse me. Do you have any Aleve?
