"the God Head, "couldn'T!"

Pharaoh divine, Amenhotep the fourth,  
Could explain very own Sphinx head of course,
Having anchored in Mars,
His head stares at the stars,
Made only Mars, no divinity source!

They say proof is always in the pudding,
Or to tell you this story I wouldn’t,
One day in precept’s cars,
We’ll drive around on Mars,
Viewing the Sphinx, the god head that couldn't!

For Contest, ”Sphinx Head on Mars
In Honor Of: Carolyn Devonshire
