THE O'NEILL

O'Neill's with the angels now!

O kneel Harry - and show them how

You came to find your rightful place

In that unseen heavenly space,

And why your sprightly eighty nine

Was a prelude to a life divine.

The guardians of its gates may cheer

But we miss your presence a lot down here!

Those angels had better keep their 'and on their 'alfpenny if Harry starts to recite his love poems to 'em!

I hadn't heard of this poet but I sense he was someone special.

I don't believe in heaven and hell etc but I like your poem's construction.
