Writings On the Wall

In the land where pyramids rise
   An ancient language grew
 Pictures were words in disguise
   No letters for a clue
 These picture and symbols were known as hieroglyphs
  They were written on the walls 
 And it took quite a while 
   To decode these ancient scrawls

 When hieroglyphs meet holograms
  It's an illusion you will see
  They will seem to float in the air
   And it's an image in 3D
  Holograms can be computer generated
  To show any scene you please
   Even scenes that don't exist
 Can be created with these
                     ----

Very clever title pulled me in Jospeh - amazing what technology can now create - maybe it can decode my hubbies handwriting - that looks like hieroglyphics written by a spider with a pen attached to its legs lol:-) good luck in the contest:-) hugs Jan xx
