Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Thank You Sally, For Your Service

Boston Light, the first lighthouse in

The U.S., then still colonies,

And lighthouse keeping did begin,

Manned by men as such employees,

Until the year two thousand three,

When Sally Snowman became last

Boston Light lighthouse keeper, she.

Automated, the torch had passed.

For twenty years Sally was part

Of this lighthouse on its small isle,

Doing her job with loving heart,

Lighting up others with her smile.

Twenty twenty three at year end,

Sally retired, yet keeps her friend.
