All iron will do is simply
rust
But don't think this is really
unjust
For the skin will form and the
years will pass For 100's of years this iron will last

A Poem about Iron and Statues
There sitting in the elements
quite serene and stable
A material so strong and suitably
able
To withstand attacks from rain
and snow
And all else the cyclones wish
to blow
|
|
|
|
Sitting, standing, looking,
Iron is there to please
As passers by look, feel, touch
and squeeze
It will not yield its solid shape
to touch
But will merely polish if handled
too much
|
|
|
To the artist there is plenty
to savour
For design and strength is much
in his favour Delicate or sturdy the hot metal will shape
Muscles or smiles, fur or drape
To form a statue for all to admire
Kindled with knowledge from earth,
wind and fire.

The Ironbridge Telford Built 1776

A vandal with a hammer would make
us cry
As eventually his smashing would
make iron sigh
And snap and break where it is
really thin
But God they say, would forgive
his sin |
