A Pail and Shovel

A pail and shovel
Bright red
A castle to build
A moat to fill

Seagulls shriek
Crabs scurry
As tidal creep
Threatens the kingdom

Ominous omens, indeed, Merlin. This calls for the geniosity of the Connecticut Yankee!

Ah, but there is no better protector of the kingdom than a shining knight with a red shovel and pail.
