A Different World- Down To Egypt

 A memorable holiday in Egypt November 2008, sketch Harry Cottey.

Down to Egypt

Down to Egypt land of temples and tombs

Felafel, baksheesh, hassle and fumes

 

Down to Egypt Pharaohs plan eternity

Pyramids, mummies preserved wondrously

 

Down to Egypt and down the Nile

Felucca sails with crocodile

 

Down to Egypt Muslim and Coptic pray

Unify lotus and papyrus ways

 

Down to Egypt and Great Aswan Dam

Nubian people seek new land

 

Down to Egypt and Sahara’s setting sun

At last, the camel’s day of work is done
