As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus from the Serengeti

Kilimanjaro rising like itself above the Tsavo.


Where to start? Kilimanjaro doesn't rise above the Serengeti. You can't even see it from the Serengeti, unless you get in a hot air balloon and take a telescope. Mount Olympus certainly doesn't rose above the Serengeti. It's in Greece. To the extent you could say that something that just sits there, and has sat there for millions of years, "rises", then Kilimanjaro doesn't rise like Olympus either.

and we haven't even got onto the fact that the line doesn't scan.
