Ode to a Henge

A poem entitled ‘Ode to a Henge’
Subtitled, ‘It is difficult to find words that rhyme with ‘monolith’’

Today we gather on this lawn
With our closest, dearest friends
On which homage we shall pawn
To Simon as he erects two ‘henge.

One for money, one for tech
He builds for the ancient ruins
If they fall, what the heck?
I hope to the Rose Bowl go the Bruins!!!

In ancient days they danced ‘round
And prayed to large stone monoliths
Today we make merry on this ground,
Burrow! More wine for the wordsmith!

So gather near to see the ‘henge grow
Monuments for laptop and bank piggy
They are not so heavy for Simon to tow
Unlike his unfortunate ancestral druidy

And now, my friends, it’s time to end
This ode to hobbies most strange
I hope you’ve enjoyed my ramblin’
Now, let’s toast to the latest ‘henge!

This poem considered by many to be the best “henge poem” ever written in the Western Hemisphere debuted at the Double Henge Installation on November 11.

It was written and read by Rachel B.  She has graciously set the bar for Henge poetry very low and at next years installation can expect some serious competition.
