Ode to a sofa 

Every day Keats looked outside

Not fearing he would pass on

Tears rolled down his eyes

When he said his last words

 

Keats would lie on a sofa

Thinking about Fanny

He was never a moaner

Just a person who was very happy

 

Keats wasn’t afraid of death

Though he was very sick

He then took his last breath

When he had tuberculosis

 

Keats’ heart was broken

When he met the woman he loved

Keats’ words were spoken

And he was very beloved.

 

Keats died in 1825

He had a little laughter

He lived the ultimate life.

Here lies a man,

whose name was writ in water.
