Gargoyles

“None but a coward dares to boast that he has never known fear.”

-Ferdinand Foch (1851 - 1929)

Two Gruesome faces, etched in stone

Their icy cold stare will make you groan

The heads are fearsome, strange and uncanny

They aren’t your normal household granny

---

What ghastly secrets, do these spirits know?

Through time, and sorrow, when the wind does blow

Their hollowed mouths have a sinister feel

Perhaps you could be their very next meal

---

When the world is dark and dim and gloomy

And the streets are large and wide and roomy

That is the time of the monsters, I fear

They work their evil at dark each year
