Epic poems speak of heroics, perhaps historical or not. If writing an epic poem of this day and age, I would have to focus on first responders. This could be the military, police, EMTs, fire persons, Coast Guard, for example. How would you define the one hero in the epic poem?

Rubbing my eyes and jumping from the bed, it took me a moment or two to realize it was Saturday and no school.
Daddy laughed and laughed and then announced that breakfast was ready.
You couldn’t argue this, Daddy was on time and he made the best breakfasts I have ever tasted, so there’s that and I soon forgot his joke, until I told it many times since.
Daddy and I a few years before the breakfast incident.
