Wrapped in cheesecloth.

Turned down by a Spanish caballero
Rejected by an Egyptian Pharaoh --

Hitched an old bird who ate like a sparrow

Egyptian Musk

Egyptian musk is an oil
From the ancient days
It's alluring smell
Seems to entice the person
Who smells it, even though
Most people wear it well
Each have a different aroma

Cleopatra Eyes

A funny little observation
from my garden
the Indian Myna birds
Walk Like An Egyptian
as they
bob and strut
like a Pharaoh
have the look
down pat
even to the Cleopatra eyes.

He told the artists to draw him Rubenesque without woe
An Egyptian monarch with confidence back in the day
So, the skilled artesian painted Akhenaten exactly that way.
