A doggerel series
about the countries of the world.
Egypt.
The Land of
Pharoahs! Of the Nile!
(Where
Cleopatra sailed in style.)
Where Joseph
used some useful guile,
Where there
is now a grand canal—
The Suez—in a
key locale,
And that has
been its rationale.
The politics
still flame and flare—
As they do,
well, most anywhere
Where
cultures clash in desert air.
The Romans
tried, then left the place.
Napoleon—well
he saved face
By heading
home. Our human race
Cannot let go
of dominance—
Though it
can’t work—not even once—
Well, not for
long. Is Man a dunce?
