THINGS ON MY BUCKET LIST

By Dan Donlan, www.PoetryPoem.com/dandy1    Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime



None of them include being up
close and personal with sharks
But Mama wanted to do it
The one thing she did not understand
You had to go in a boat
As the kids watched sharks
up close and personal
The most excited one
Lay seasick on deck
I ain't stupid I lay there too
Second thing not on my bucket list
Is being up close to a Rhino
But one walked right up to the truck
I wasn't about to to tell him
Back off--He's blind you know
But he can hear!
Third thing not on my bucket list
Following a wild animal who is hungry
But the usual coward gave way to curiosity
I left the truck and looked a cheetah
Eye to eye, course he was not hungry
The elephant walked right up
Raised his ears--that's a warning you know
I just closed my eyes and shut my mouth
Next years bucket list includes Las Vegas
It was probably much safer in South Africa
And some of the animals are less scary
