Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Borrowed Conscience

I read Pinocchio when young,

And how Jiminy Cricket be

The wood boy's conscience with a tongue.

I wanted such conscience for me,

Someone who'd be witty and fun,

Offering me a helping hand,

Singing to me that I  was one,

"When You Wish Upon a Star" and

All my good wishes could come true,

If  with me my friend's conscience dwell.

Like Jiminy Cricket did do,

And Pinocchio turned out well.

When in good conscience I abide,

Jiminy Cricket's at my side.
