The god Sobek arrived tonight
From Port Mahon aboard The Charming Betty
Which brought also barrel upon barrel
Of ammunition. The Lord Chancellor
Was rowed out to greet the god and,
After a lengthy meeting and an on-board dinner
A joint communique was issued. Sobek
Said he knew that many were surprised
That a male crocodile had been appointed
Goddess of Love but, given a fair chance,
He might surprise us all. While seldom
In his long career associated with love
He had, after all, invented backgammon
With which, as he understood it, love
Had quite a few things in common.
