Formal Ambitions

The rule book Of Society rules We either live by the rules Or be ruled unfit: Toe the line Walk that fine line Keep in line But never cross the line; Speak up Speak when spoken to Speak politely But never speak out of turn; Mind your manners Mind where you look now Mind your Mama Oh just never mind; Look out Watch out Just let it play itself out But never let it out; Come when called Come along now Come here Just never come alone. But sometimes The line between formal And informal Ambition Blurs And I come Unspoken Alone In my mind Without you Playing it out With both feet Planted firmly Over the line.
