They stand....
Ramrod straight they have stood, forgotten their pride and use.
Gunners and the rankers have toiled.
Sweat ran in rain, sun, sleet 'n' snow.
Sinews and muscles torn blistered and abused on hemp and steel.
Forgotten the barges Mog and Magog from the Woolwich Arsenal heavily laden.
Straining with Canon and shot for the Ranges.
Fighting all against wind 'n' tide, floods and ebbs with frothy seahorses galore.
Their History and Pride second place to ignorant bliss.
