Sense Sonnet - Pumper

First Lady

Moira Cameron is the first
Female Beefeater of the realm,
To serve with duties quite well versed,
In traditions that overwhelm.
The Tower of London to guard,
Since 1485, a post
That is held in highest regard,
An honor that is uppermost.
The source of the name is unclear.
In early times, many do say,
The King liked his gold much too dear,
So Tower guards got beef in pay.

Congratulations, Moira, for
Opening up the Tower door.
