Keith of the Globes


Doctor Young noted in his book Night Thoughts

That an undevout astronomer could be considered mad

He was much attacked

At the time of its publication

 

His grandson Keith was studying

The telescopic appearance of the full moon

From the tower of his church

He was at peace with the world

 

His devoted wife Katie was in her Lady Chapel

Awaiting the white and blue angels

Who had yet to complete their tasks

She too was at peace with the world

 

Their daughter Clarabelle was bathing

In the jade pools of Wish Jupiter

And could not see the moon

Until the good doctor handed her his mirror
