Description
In a land far away, near the Nubian sea,
There's a symbol for love of the finest degree.
Ahktar and Helena, their carcasses on display,
Hugging forever, on the verge of decay.
For thousands of years, legends have spread,
Of how they became hard as yesterday's bread.
An evil magician who envy the couple,
Maliciously killed them with a gigantic shuffle.
Others have spoken of a dragon of ice,
Freezing the couple without thinking twice.
The truth, I'm afraid, is far from the fables,
More down the earth, with a smell of the stables.
For the real reason who doomed the due,
Was a careless handling of permanent horse glue.
