Mnemonic for Middle Egyptian Alphabet

The vulture from the reed leaf flew
And landed on the reed leaf two
The arm which reached the quail chick's foot
Then reached a stool and on it put
A horned viper!
The owl above the water swooped
It's mouth as an enclosure drooped
And dropped the rope - a big descenta!
Upon the floating there placenta.
Animal bellies and bolts of doors
And folded cloth may be in stores
But pools and hills and basket lands
Are seldom far from old jar-stands.
A loaf of bread is not a hobble
A hand can't make a cobra bobble!

I Knew It!


This morning I drew The Tower as my Card of the Day. Firefox has crashed while I was posting, the blogging software is giving me grief and I am out of my depth. But I shall carry on, tweaking and posting and pulling out my hair. And it is less than an hour into Blogathon!

Not the best card you could have gotten for the blogathon, but at least the struggle it brings will keep you awake. (see... bright side to everything).
