Like a Desert Pharaoh

  
   In a little café down by the bay
     He sipped his coffee and looked around

   The water fetid, a sickly green
     In nearby woods, few trees seen

   Nary a creature grazed in the parched meadow
     Red sun blazed like a desert Pharaoh 

   Of a sudden, rains came, hot sands steaming  
     The final curtain ~ or was he dreaming
