Desolation

He builds a mighty garrison Formed up from Duplo blocks He brags you’ll never take his king A regular Fort Knox But then the ogre from the east Comes crashing through the vale There’s nothing left but ruins now And odors that assail A wet and slimy residue There’s drool upon the walls The mayhem, utter and complete So off the toddler crawls

This is so cool, Jeff. So descriptive of a scene we've all witnessed from time to time with children playing. Very nicely done.
