Perhaps An Ambition Too High Poem by John Sensele

Perhaps an ambition too high
To ascend to Heaven in a state of sin
To reap comfort when you make a madam cry
After you've pronounced her your ex queen.

Perhaps a dream too crazy
To fly on a phone to the moon
To feel hot when it's breezy
After you've claimed the world will end soon.

Perhaps a mistake too much
To tell a fib to a jilted damsel
To whom you thought you were a perfect match
After you've made her life hell.

Perhaps a word too far
To utter a plethora of expletives
To swim in a binge at a boisterous bar
After you've pledged to rid your mouth of invectives.
