It all a buzz(in a listed building in RYE)

The anchor lay for centuries Underneath the sea For countless whelks and limpets The perfect place to be Once this most majestic 3 ton Patent anchor sped Down through the salty fathoms To hold fast to the bed Thanks to Rye's fine Aqua Club It found its way to shore And now sits near the harbour A part of old sea lore I had good fortune yesterday To take the staff to Rye And gazing at the wooden fissures Saw another eye Had seen the ailing structure Ideal as a room Bees had made a nest Inside this catacomb A series of hewn tunnels Where myriads of Bees Had historically lived out their lives Just totally at ease Instinct was re-visited Within this thread of wood They'd found a listed building And a temple which was good! |
