Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir,
Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine,
With a cargo of ivory,
And apes and peacocks,
Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine.
**************************************
Bags of cash from Qataris in cool new flats,
Flying home to Skoufa Street in sunny Kolonak,
With a cargo from Emirates,
With a cargo for real estate.
Toasting secret lobbying with sweet white wine.
