SENTRY

gothic perpendicular

in every fine particular

      the sentry salutes death by prevention

   

an architectural statement of fine intention

 

 

crowd pleaser

sentinel standing

      praying mantis

      ready to strike

while the real invasion

creeps unseen

      keeping well clear

      of our Gracious Queen
