MRS. LOT, WATCH YOUR SODIUM INTAKE...
Oh, did you hear Gomorrah's
Male contralto chorus
As they hit the G
Above High C
In the grief
Of disbelief
On the occasion
Of their annihilation?
All Sodomites
Definitely deduced
That their breathing rights
Would be imminently reduced.
Yes, Sodom
Hit bottom.
Off to one side, righteous Lot,
In a speech calm and well-reasoned,
Told his wife not to look back, but she got
Curious and then well-seasoned.
Lot gave a tweak
To his wife's right cheek.
It crumbled in a pile
Which he poured into a vial,
Saying: "It's not my fault
She turned to salt."
Lot savored
His flavored
Wife and implored
Of his Heavenly Sustainer:
"Will she be all right if I keep her stored
In an air-tight container?"
DYING TO SEE THE PYRAMIDS
The sun gets very hot
At a certain spot
In Egypt, by the Nile,
Where the Pharaoh forced the rank and file
To sweat
And groan
To get
A stone
Pyramid made.
Pyramids don't give very much shade
(Neither do most palm trees),
But shade was hardly the point,
Since only dead Pharaohs and their Mummsies
Were going to occupy the joint.
