Ancient Egypt, who knew?
Sailing the Nile
All the while
She adjusts her jewels
While being cruel
To the oarsmen. . .
Cleopatra the queen
She’s mostly seen
With eyes abound
By charcoal rounds
Sporting her crown
She is renowned. . .
Widowed was she
Married Antony
They ran away at sea. . .
Then her deception
Was Tony’s fatal inception
Did she order the task(it)
An asp in a basket –
Should we even ask it?
Results were a casket. . .
Now I’ve been schooled
Octavian ruled.
One of Shakespeare’s takes on life.
