The Gargoyle

 The Gargoyle1 often makes its perch2
On a cathedral or a church,
Where, mid3 ecclesiastic4 style,
It smiles an early-Gothic smile.
And while the parson, dignified5,
Spouts6 at his weary flock inside,
The Gargoyle, from its lofty seat,
Spouts at the people in the street,
And, like the parson, seems to say
To those beneath him, "Let us spray."
I like the Gargoyle best; it plays
So cheerfully on rainy days,
While parsons (no one can deny)
Are awful dampers—when they're dry.
