Eddie's Ambition

This poem is about my friend Eddie We went to college together in New York City. While other students were busy with trigonometric calculations, Eddie had his own ambitions. Eddie’s guitar was his prized possession Plucking away at its strings was his obsession Getting good grades was something he could manage His performance was always above average His father was his only fear Who wanted to make him an engineer Most of the time he was pestered with phone calls from his father, Giving him advice but Eddie didn't even bother But then he decide to meet hi, one day So he drove to Philadelphia to meet him that day He had to tell his father about his ambition As he had no other option. Getting home he found his father working away But still he went up to him and said what he had to say His father stopped and listened diligently And after much argument he finally had to agree. So now, after six years, two months and five days Eddie has his own band where he plays, Though Eddie and his father are still at war About Eddie playing the guitar. This was the story of my friend Eddie Who is now a relatively well known celebrity He finally got to live his dreams And fulfilled his ambition, it seems!
