Life In a Dream...
I wake up and get ready for work,
At 3AM, my day starts early;
A cup of ahwa* gives me a perk,
At this time of day there’s still much to see;
I’m off with my crew to Saqqara,
So the dig for the day can commence;
Where the Pyramid of Djoser leaves me in awe,
And a newly discovered tomb has us waiting in suspense;
Usually we stay there ‘til darkness does us in,
And go home exhausted at the end of the day;
Our days are filled from the time they begin,
Laying out grids for the crew to survey;
Life in Egypt is almost surreal,
Living dangerous and extreme;
But then I wake up and reveal,
My life in Egypt is only a dream!
*ahwa is a type of coffee they drink in Egypt
