Well, here's a thing. Not strictly according to the rubric but, hell, it goes with a swing.
Albert Memorial
Antique and frantic and antediluvian,
Monument massive, impassive, magnificent,
Rich as the Inca, the golden Peruvian,
Omnidirectional, omnibenificent,
Fashioned with passion, a festival sculptural,
Multiform, vermiform, multidimensional,
Menhir memorious, mass-multicultural,
Scorning the classical strictly conventional,
Sweetly sepulchural, sombre funereal
Garden of grief for the Empress of India,
Dateless as sorrow and weightless as Ariel,
Strong as an ox where the weather wears windier.
Work is the theme and the dream is sensational,
Honour imperial, manner laborious,
Heavenward soaring in mode inspirational,
Votive Victorian, happy and glorious.
