His Ambition Poem by Joyce Hemsley

To be a Civil Servant
was his aim,
Master of The Royal Mint
a little bit of fame!
After all he was a graduate
on a list you'll see his name.
His ambition was to be
a Civil Servant.

But a sudden gust of romance
came along, wooed him with
an Oklahoma love song.
The thought of previous
plans and schemes
melted into idle dreams.
He no longer wished to be
a Civil Servant.

His imagination strayed to
the Church and to the Altar.
His ambition now...to wed
the rich man's daughter.
