POETRY - RHYME


Aspiration:

Fuel of genius and path to the stars,
Light of the noble and seller of cars.
Cross channel swimmer, midnight lamp burner,
Early morning runner, city slicker earner.

P.H.D. thesis and solitary monk
Peace negotiator and emigration trunk.
Himalayan climber, valiant lifeboat crew,
Ambitious politician and seeker of the true.

Lord’s wicket batsman, junior minister’s brief,
Cup Final player, a night stalking thief.
Rounded white bridesmaid, admittance to the barr,
Fresh raw journalist, a captain’s bridge too far.
