By the skate park
Take a walk past Tony Hawk
To mark the stones
Deployed like props from Game of Thrones

Emerging dripping from the Gipping long ago
Ten feet tall and trickling tears
These sarsens had been pickling down below
For 60 million years

Formed by forces sedimentary
Rugged, rough, and rudimentary
The rocks are marred with crude graffiti
But really hard like Kevin Beattie
