Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 My Hero

A Walter Mitty wannabe,

I like fantasy more than fact.

A real life hero's not for me,

A much too iffy role to act.

To be the one to bring world peace,

To discover cures for ills all,

My heroism does not cease,

Always at my beckoning call.

I guess real heroes do exist.

I hear about them on the news.

But searching for them I resist.

Reality just clouds my views.

No real hero for me to find,

I am always one in my mind.
