This is a song
about a noble beetle
Not by the Beatles
but those that roll dung
And that is not all
they roll it upward on a
hill or plain
pushing the dung with hind
legs
while on their endurance
journey
Creating a perfect, round
ball
shaped like the moon and
sun
Revered in ancient Egypt
they were divine
because they pushed those
balls of dung
in a very straight line
guided by forces
of Moon and Sun
No way, you say?
well, now we even know
Did the ancient Pharaohs
know
we would be doing this rap
on the dung beetle
their sacred scarab?
Henri van Bentum
