the trees have told me things
that i went and told the rocks
the rocks then told the grass
and took it in with many shocks
the grass then told the cows
and being slow had to explain
then the cows walked on two legs
no longer will smarts be a pain
the cows then told the pigs
who squealed a chant to stop the cows
who now donned preistly clothing
wearing ankhs around their brows
the pigs then told the snakes
who sat and nodded with a grin
a single snake told eve and then
he filled her up with sin
the eve had told the tree
who dropped a single fruit in shock
and the fruit told adams lips and friends
creating us a flock

The desert wind scours the land
Home to all of civilized man
Ankhs hang from leather straps
No turkey gobbles nor Auntie naps.
Kids in mosques and chapels abound
Singing chants of eastern sound.
Genies squirm in lamps too tight
Images rise of Arabian nights.
Visitor you’ll find me over seas
In search an antiquarian gies.
No pumpkin pie or candied yams
Gathered around a table of clan.
Destiny has brought me here
Ancient pyramids now come clear
Yesterdays dreams, I do revere.
