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
