Mummies Poem

                               Mummies, mummies all are we,
                        All bound up for eternity.
                     Bandages covering every part,
                    Tightly wrapped across the heart.
                 The sarcophagus is ready and waiting,
                   And we the mummies are hesitating....
                      Although afterlife looks like fun,
                          We are still - not done!
                      A little dance we'd like to do,
              To thrill you - through and through.....oooooooo!

  * This was included in a presentation on ancient Egypt. It was presented by children who were roughly ten or eleven. At the end of the poem they made-up their own sequence to a short dance to Michael Jackson's "Thriller".
