A Daily Guardian
A daily Guardian looks after you,
Defending you against discomfort and
Adversity: When rocks that you accrue,
In studying the sliding of the land,
Look muddyish, your Guardian will let
You wrap them up in it. And lest your bum
Get damp, it shields you when the ground is wet.
Up cloistered cliffs, from which the drop is plumb
And where you freeze, your Guardian is what
Reheats your legs. It's even there to get
Destroyed for you by fire to light your spot ...
If no such bother, though, has happened yet,
A Guardian can entertain instead:
News snippets and the letters can be read!
