An extract from my epic poem The Way of Trilobites, available on Amazon. See PS classified.

The man who a Pharaoh would be
Must dress for success to the T.
The hair 'neath his chin
Must wrap round his shin:
It cannot be just to the knee!

Thank you! I compose from different perspectives, from the humorous to the depressed. Incidentally, if you are in need of something to help you fall asleep, I wrote a PS article on composing limericks.

Thank you! I thought people might want something a little lighter once in a while, I'm glad it went over well.

I think your right! It takes much to be up to the task, to be powerful and make appearances! LOL

Thank you! Yes, a little bit of irony in it.
