The Pharaoh Senwosret usually walked
With the personification of his pharaohness
Who looked like Senwosret but
Had larger eyes and a brighter smile
Also, he was carved from stone.
Evenings, when the pharaoh slept,
The statue would slip away --
To the extent anyone carved from diorite
Can be said to slip away -- and roll dice
With the pharaoh's cook and with
The man who carried Senwosret's sandals.
