The Castle
We heard it tear apart,
The crackling as it hit the floor,
The sand separating, part by part.
I was at the shore
It was it, that dreadful four wheeled cart,
That broke my beloved castle, now I will chase them like a boar,
It was them that broke the piece of art
They are the ones who broke the thing I adore
