ANCIENT EGYPTIANS, MODERN POETS
Mahathi CLEOPATRA And there Cleopatra...oh so ambitious wasn't satisfied being a queen, just a queen of Egypt... threw her dragnet wide & vicious with bait of beauty and waited long and keen. Lucky was she...the aging Caesar whale that ruled oh half the world became her prey. The whale wiggled in her embrace, turned pale, for more of cunning love started to pray. And when one brutal Brutus butchered king, towards the able Anthony she turned her peers... first time to relish love and swing on heart-hammock. Didn't see her throne got burned!
