>>712567232A desert on a distant world
Is where the soldiers met.
The Jaffa bore three marks, in gold:
Apophis, Horus, Set.
The line was drawn. The scene was tense.
The air was rich with fear.
Each Jaffa waited for a sign
That only he could hear.
The Serpent guard, while they were paused,
Lit up his eyes with red.
To terrify the other two
Though nothing had been said.
The Horus guard was not so cowed,
And caused his beak to shine
To show the other two that he
Wore armor tough and fine.
The Setesh guard was overwhelmed
And could not get a grip.
And in his fear, he panicked and
His nose began to drip.
This epic tale, by the Jaffa,
Was long thereafter spoke.
Setesh was mocked for it for years
(I trust you see the joke.)
