A waste of desert sand; A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The sexual urge of the camel, Is greater than anyone thinks; After several months in the desert, He attempted a rape on the Sphinx.
Now the intimate parts of that lady, Are sunk 'neath the sands of the Nile; Hence the hump on the back of the camel, and the Sphinx's inscrutable smile.
