Gargoyles

Here in New York City,
There’s not much I wouldn’t give
If I only had a gargoyle
On the building where I live.

Whether sinister or silly,
I’d be charmed with every glance
For there’s rarely a façade
A gargoyle couldn’t help enhance.

Sadly, all the new construction
Lacks such details in their plans,
Which is very disappointing
To the many gargoyle fans.

Yet there still are many places
Where a gargoyle may be hidden
From a time before such artistry,
Alas, has been forbidden.
