Of crocodiles And betrayal Boudica clad In chain mail, Cleo uncorks Another bottle, Scythed chariots Going full throttle, Gems and jewels And golden bangles, Crowns set At jaunty angles, Tales of lovers And kingdoms lost, The clever men They double-crossed, But the sun-god sinks The wheel spins, And in the end The Patriarchy wins.
A poem about Cleopatra and Boudica sharing a bottle of wine.
