"The priest's housekeeper now at rest and gone / As Grandma called herself would be a century / I wonder if from heaven she can spy on me?"

Transcendental Sonnet #1230:

Time in a Bottle and Rhyme at Full Throttle

 

for Grandma who would be a century

 

Milestone birthdays clustered-up aplenty:

 

I turned fifty Silke five and twenty

The heavy metal thunder of my car

Is forty now and older than you are

This year my daughter will turn twenty-two

Napoleon loved that number how 'bout you?

 

My dear old Freddie Noodles will be nine

A life for every year of this feline

Companion to me in celibacy

We bugger neither altar boys nor cats

He only gets aggressive with the rats

 

The priest's housekeeper now at rest and gone

As Grandma called herself would be a century

I wonder if from heaven she can spy on me?
