Thin Ice In Egypt

by Dennis Donald

Now everybody's healthy, strong,
The children growing tall.
The times we struggled, memories,
Fat cows in every stall.

With standards rising year on year
Young people and their peers
Are finding opportunities,
Beginning new careers.

The only downside's Pharaoh and
That Hebrew, for it seems
The pair have got entangled in
Discussions about dreams.

Frustrating, all the silos and
The stores and bulging barns.
Why stash away abundant wealth
With famine-call alarms?

He isn't even one of us,
That Hebrew, Pharaoh's lout,
Arriving here from no where
And then bossing us about.

A riot! Rob the silos! Come
And kill the fatted calf!
A famine here in Egypt?
Pharaoh's dreams are just a laugh.

----------------
There isn't ice in Egypt; if
There were it's very thin,
And not the sort to walk upon;
Doubt God? Just don't begin!
