Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 The Lady

The Lady's been for a long time,

And now she's hundreds of years old,

Always anxious to help those climb

To heaven if they pay her gold.

She is not so blatant with this

As in the Middle Ages be,

But selling her heavenly bliss

Is still the favorite way that she

Assures her fans that more they give

Her the more likely they will go

Up her stairs to heaven to live.

After all, who is gonna know!

Stairway trip the Lady does sell,

Stepping to heaven or to hell?
