The Ancient Greeks told in a tale
About a great heroic male
Who was invincible except that he
Still could be rendered kaput
If shot between ankle and foot
So was the fate of the great Achilles.
And so if someone has a flaw,
A weakness easy to ignore,
And yet once hit from it they might not heal
That fault of theirs seemingly small,
That could bring them to their downfall,
Is what we call their own Achilles’ heel.
