Or is it that we just have so many more memories stored that it seems faster?

This poem is a Rondeau Redouble.
A Rondeau Redouble is a poem with a very complex fixed format. It is written on two rhymes (the a and b rhymes), but in five stanzas of four lines each and one of five lines that repeats a portion of the first line of the poem. Each of the first four lines (which due to the a and b rhymes will be identified in the following stanzas as A1, B1, A2 and B2) get individually repeated in turn once in each of the following stanzas by becoming successively the respective fourth lines of stanzas 2, 3, 4, and 5; and the first part of the first line is repeated as a short fifth line to conclude the fifthth stanza. The stanzas each carry an abab rhyme scheme. So with the repeat lines shown in numbered capitals, this can be represented as -

A1,B1,A2,B2 - b,a,b,A1 - a,b,a,B1 - b,a,b,A2 - a,b,a,(A1). This poem can have any meter.

This on e is in pentameter.

This clock is one I have in my home's basement. Seems appropriate for retirement.
