Mary moved ever so slowly
At the end of her years
She was naughty and nice,
And a friend to everyone, even the mice
Her every step a journey
Through the gardens green
Announcing edicts to the mice
Our ‘constitutional’ queen
“I don’t hear so well” she’d shout
But then I did surmise
That Mary heard quite well
Through her wide open eyes
I will miss her glinty glare
Through steely eyes of blue
Her spark, and piercing stare
This queen, I’m glad I knew

Mary is a neighbor who recently died after having to move house because of the recent floods here in Windermere, UK. She was quite old and it may be coincidental, but I suspect the upheaval was hard for here to manage in some ways. Her life was quite controlled and pleasant before the flood.
