Mesopotamia, with two rushing majestic rivers on a journey through the land,
And towering, serpentine ziggurats, made by hand.
Egypt, with commanding, kingly pharaohs, with power on demand,
And steep, gigantic pyramids, were carefully made on command.
Israel, with God’s loving, divine law, which is always right,
And the stunning, holy temple, filled with Gods might.
Babylon, with the captivating, colorful Ishtar Gates, that’s amazingly high,
And the breathtaking, beautiful Hanging Gardens, that brings a sigh.
Greece, with phony, false gods which are never true,
And spectacular, magnificent athletes, that you would never boo,
Rome, with brutal, heartless emperors, afraid for their lives,
And massive, powerful armies who will never hide,
The Ancient World, amazing, marvelous, and miserable place to be,
I'm so glad to live here and to be me
