Pylon

Pylon, pyl-off, pylon, 

Switch on, switch off, switch on, 

Beware, beware, 

But only stand and stare, 

Pylon pyl-off, pylon. 

Pylon, pyl-off, pylon, 

Keep off, keep off, not on!

Do not climb, do not climb, 

Even though the views are fine

Pylon, pyl-off, pylon. 

Pylon, pyl-off, pylon,

Runs on and on and on. 

Erection, construction,

Landscape disruption?

Pylon, pyl-off, pylon. 

Poem by Artemus Dieback, to accompany his painted sketches (or visual musings) on the compositional possibilities offered by the imposition of the electrical pylon in the rural landscape.
