Adrian's wall is nothing special,

no visitors flock to its breezy heights,

it flanks the corner of Evelyn Street

one of Rawtenstall's lesser known sights. 

 

Adrian lives in obscurity

has never been feted by the National Trust

no would be conquest

has ever been thwarted

no glorious victories credited there,

 

although repairs were carried out

when a car ran wide on a roundabout

causing a breach of considerable size

where some kids came in and went through his bin -

 

Adrian's wall is nothing special,

and when in the fullness of time he moves

no Roman graffiti will mourn his passing,

just pizza fliers for floor mosaics.

He'll have lost his claim to historical fame

'cause it won't be Adrian's wall any more.
