I bumped into old Oz to-day -- he seemed a decent bloke.
We shared a pot of tea to-day - thank God he doesn't smoke!
He's big to-day as any day - and he's not far off the ceiling,
Well, he was thirsty, that I'll say -- guzzled quarts of best Darjeeling!
So while he drank, I took a look-- for that look of cold command;
Yet all I saw, was smile on his lips --- a smile and a speck of sand.
So many things, so many things -- a God of the past , who breathed the ancient air!
But he just said: 'Call me Ramses ---- and pass us another eclair!
