Ambition

Once bitten by
Ambition they never
Stop scratching a fate
I have assiduously and
Successfully avoided
Learning as a child
About Alexander’s
Choice of a short
Life full of glory
Over a long life of
Relative anonymity
A choice I’ve never
Had reason to
Regret as I’ve
Helped raise
My family
Met
Folks
Raised
Some hell
Explored so
Many places
Acquired many
Lifelong friends
Collected pensions
Tried to move forward.
