The Seven Sleepers 

The seven sleepers hid within caves 
to escape religious persecution. 
A young septet laid in quiet graves, 
heed this history, born in Syria. 
Set deep in the grotto to be saved, 
they emerged three hundred years later. 
Those pubescent well-planned panicked knaves, 
they had found the ultimate solution, 
although it was a very close shave.
