extra-pyramidal thought
why don’t we build a pyramid
get the whole population involved
a joint enterprise to bury the monarchy
pay the dying wage to everyone
food provided
a stone signed by everyone
the catacomb plans passed
by the counsel of consent
it could (should) take forever
and a day never wasted
in my back yard!
in my back yard!
would be the plea
the more higher the mighty
the more their guarantee of a funeral
through the colonnade of doffed caps
for where else is there to go
these numbered days in the daze
of the haze of the maze
of the doggerel of the end times
one after another we can lay the chips off our shoulders
and stand in awe at our achievement
all points of opinion lost in the walk around the base
of a pyramid that points to the pole star
we would wonder why
why not would be the answer
why not
for we built it ourselves
from ourselves
for ourselves
when shall we start
