Rabat Is a Black Pearl

Rabat is a black pearl
   Of cellophanic rainbow
Gazing upon waves that curl
   And lick a shore little known.

Gibraltar is the dock
   Where it steadfast moors -
Enjoying sailboats that flock
   The Mediterranean course

Yet Barbary lions live
   Not far, in the Rif Mountains -
Golden, assertive -
   Their kasbah amid the grass.
