Howard Carter Poem by Ima Ryma

Howard Carter gets credit for
Discovering King Tut's tomb at
Valley of the Kings in dig chore,
Unearthing final habitat
Of this young Pharaoh from long past.
1922 was the year,
After much searching, at long last
Carter had good reason to cheer.
Apparently a water boy
Happened to stumble on a stone,
Setting in motion search of joy
Of finding best intact tomb known.

Carter stole items, it is said,
Tut Tut for robbing from the dead.
