An Ode To the Guard

A sentinel to guard the compound By duty and courage bound Monitoring activity all around Steady, on the beat my feet doth pound Patrolling office building and ground Alert for any unrecognizable sound Ready and willing all intruders to confound Cunning as a fox, swift as a greyhound With tenacity all code breakers do hound Displaying efficiency that will friend and foe astound.
