My Chameleon Cameos Poem by John Sensele

Once, when fantasies in my mind grew
I thought I could flirt at will
Breaking any heart into two
And vats of red wine I could swill.

Once, when mad blood could rush to my head
I thought I could lie by the clock
Playing the field and venting frustrations in my bed
And bags of baloney I could talk.

Once, when adrenalin in my veins could flow
I thought I could pick a fight
Threatening friends and foes with a big blow
I would to a foe administer under a moonlight.

Once, when naivete ruled my demeanour
I thought I could play to the gallery
Frolicking and osculating in my manor
And brunch and munch bouquets of celery.

Once, when indolence in my studies ruled the roost
I thought I could skip lectures
Going on the binge my morale to boost
And I would sample fleshpot textures.

Once, when my nation in her largesse sponsored me
I thought I could scale any height
Rummaging through concepts with glee
And I could shamble into my study in double delight.
