A poem from the bathroom wall at the Abbey, courtesy of Pizza Mike:

The sexual life of the camel
is stranger than anyone thinks.
One night in a heat of passion,
he tried to bugger the Sphinx.
But the Sphinx’s posterior orifice
was blocked by the sands of the Nile,
which explains the humps on the camel
and the Sphinx’s inscrutable smile.

(a.k.a. why I stopped pursuing my dream of being an Egyptologist, when I started reading this kind of smut….)
