Grandson said, "Have you ever
done something dangerous?"
Well not on purpose of course,
but I have defied my limits
I have been chased by a bull,
ridden a horse that tossed me off
Once I drove a limited hydroplane,
flipped and thrown in the water
The sign said, "Five dollars if you
can stay one round with the champ!"
I lasted three rounds, laid down my gloves,
victory---boxing not for me
Twice i fought men bigger than me for pride
Irish I am I cannot run and hide
I climbed the water tower and
the fire department had to get me down
Dived off the high dive didn't drown
And son, I bow my head to those brave soldiers in Iraq
For whatever I have done it is only testing my limits
