Her Sons of Bastardville

Trying to gather the laughter through her corridores..
A winding passage his labyrinth these words their castle
My own, child unto a man then an infant; stain glassed doors
Still, taunting the mockingbird; whom claims this world shall be ?
Betwixt he as she abominations running free; contiguous both
Flesh and spirit; favourable, their common wealth her cockatrice's
Cock-a-doodle-doos ? Benny with his jets; Johnny-jump-up's, minstrel
Song swaying in the wind her camouflage mercenaries; castration's
Mischief-makers ? Enshrined this carcass dodo bird, debonaire....
Continental congress viceroy post, Elizabeth; continuum's, black plague
In elliptical, writings upon the wall; living, breathing, truant, documents; high
Sea, treason; white wigs and ruby red lips ? Passing to as fro his, season;  wicked.
