Real Tudor

Perchance a journey for burning money
Pulverized stone makes a nice best friend
Honored in baked brick and slathered with mortar
Set in royal position with tasseled flair
A higher calling than standard pours
Purposeful and true with a few well planned improvisations
Appealing in eye from inch to foot
and classification from name to neighbor
Proudly displayed as a valued example
Up front and personal to someone
However much set back from everyone else
Into the picture framing fairytale ambiance
With a playful distance from these times we evade
Between walk and step and swinging cane
Singing a tune that sounds more like a horn
of old lore and brassy mystery
Tapered in harmony
Dandy as a nightcap
Sturdy as ever
