Once Upon A Time

In a magnificent castle

Great feasts were celebrated

And the clan gathered regularly.

There was always time for intimate luncheons

And to celebrate special

occasions.

It was a parade ground

And a barnyard

And home to many unique

breeds.

It was an equestrian center

And a testing ground for new ideas.

Great ballets were staged here

Along with magnificent concerts.

Beauty queens relaxed here

And princesses prepared for the

ball.

It was a center for the arts

And a welcoming haven.

Now it’s a fortress.
