Behind castle walls decisions are made

muesli or toast and marmalade?

 

where battlements rise to recumbent skies

the chef is planning a big surprise

 

outside the entrance there is a sign

in the Belvedere room the tasting of wine

 

where once the hordes were kept at bay

views are enjoyed of a distant bay

 

festivals bring back the hordes

with beer and burgers in place of swords

 

Lord Woolnoth, proprietor, invests the funds

while claiming expenses in the House of Lords

Thanks David - you've got it in one.

Very kind Jon thanks. I do like a rhyme now and again - it helps grease the tongue in cheek!

Appreciate the likes too Col and Paulie

Hi ray,

Hope all is well with you.

A pithy, witty, small and perfectly formed poem.

Hi Ray
Great poem. I don't think there's a word in it that's not needed.
Really well executed in my opinion. Love this bit 'festivals bring back the hordes, with beer and burgers in place of swords'.
