Gilgamesh Meets Agathocles Poem by Roger Bewman

Over the hills to the scattered meatballs
a koala plays some fractured pin balls

Then Gilgamesh met Agathocles
and they formed a band
a band of gypsies
a band of run
a band on the run
a band too bad
too bad buddy boy
boy maracas
maracas of Peru
and santouri* of Arabia
neglected on the dusty sunsets of the red camels
where they stood abandoned, thirsty and hungry

*a traditional musical instrument
