The Ancient World

(This poem was written and typed by Ryley)

Sumer, with the terrific Tigris and unique Euphrates,
lush gardens,
astonishing Ziggurrats.

Egypt, with exquisite Pharaohs,
mysterious pyramids,
the endless Nile.

Israel, with GOD'S PERFECT WRITTEN LAW,
the hallowed temple,
and the plentiful promised land.
