Cryptic
A tiny Egyptian is slowly destroying
the tombs of the great pyramids.
It excavates and delves
and we know not why?
Some blame the Scarab beetle
but ii, as we all know,
just roles mucky balls around
no,
this beetle is smaller
smaller than a polyhedron pimple.
The insect worms through
hieroglyphics with such focused determination
that it can translate the symbols into
prefect english;
'perfect English' being now considered
to be a long dead language,
we may have to decode and clarify
what otherwise would be
just the usual Egyptian crap.
