Pyramid Dreams

Pharaoh

Of the Great House

Was an unwilling replay

In a pyramid scheme

Seven years

Dreaming of fat cows

Time and again

The skinny was

His dreams were growing thin

And for once

The fates worried him

There was no Ra Ra

Of his noble soul

When nightly--- destiny

Walked past the royal guards

To stalk Pharaoh's divine oracles

Seven plump heads of grain

Growing on a single stem

In the first Egypt Weight Watchers

Pharaoh spoke in the meeting

Khamsin heads of grain

Killed by a dry diet plan

The wise men of Egypt

Scribes of the House of Life

Said Pharaoh, our Living Horus

Even Holy Anubis

Master of Secrets

Steps away from this darkness

There is no Ra Ra

In his nightly screams

Walking the steps

In your pyramid dreams

Pharaoh said

Royal Cup-bearer

From my throne of pain

Before I dream again ....

Holy Pharaoh

I have something to share

I know of a good man

In dungeons where

There is no Ra Ra

In the nightly screams

He talks with The God

Of pyramid dreams

Pharaoh

Of the Great House

... his name is ...
