Gargoyles

Grotesque monsters immortalized in stone
Are perched on top of ancient architectural
Churches with a rumor attached about them 
Being marsupial, taking to flight, and having
To materialize back in their places before
Sunrise so they don't fossilize.
These horrible creatures protect buildings as
Water spouts to keep the wall clear along
With frightening away evil spirits to which
The Cardinals say are functional.
Can you visualize their disguise?
These monsters and creatures are known as
Gargoyles who are mythical, mystical, magical,
And historical.
These mythological unusual creations aren't
At all conventional yet, they are phenomenal.
Laugh out loud they've left night time for day
Time afternoon with their own cartoon and
Video game chain
Which makes them a conversational
Piece with real names and fame with which
My children they entertain.
This was a massive campaign.
Thanks to Disneyland
Gargoyles are no longer disdained or plain.
Now they have their own merchandise on
Sale, on demand under their own name brand
So before it's all gone check out their stand
It's fully manned. Believe it or not they got 
The upper hand.

I am glad to hear that you liked my poem. I don't like being cold either. I have never been able to warm up after getting a chill.

That is okay Sunlite. When I was a teenager I saw a Gargoyle movie that scared the ebeegeebees out of me. When I became a parent one of the things that was important was to always be available when my children were watching cartoons or TV shows of any kind. I was surprised I liked the cartoon Gargoyles but I am a cartoon kind of girl. Lol

I've a small one that sits on my desk; the "littlest gargoyle"; he's more cute than scary and hasn't yet gotten his wings. Love it.

Thank you. How cool is that. Gargoyles can be cute or scary it all depends on which way you look at them.

I have a daughter who has adored gargoyles for over 30 years; before I even knew what a gargoyle was! Now I see them on buildings and I laugh, recognizing my daughter's delight in these crazy things. Thank you for a gorgeous poem honoring them.
