Adventuresome Explorer
A boys dream of escape
From the heights of Mount Everest
To the depths of the Marianas Trench
I shall walk, run, climb, swim and dive
You cannot keep me on the bench!
**********************************
My life shall be lived for adventure
Not for me the timidity of a mouse
Suitcase and backpack packed and waiting
It’s time to step forth from this house
**********************************
I have rapelling gear, climbing pitons, gloves galore
Wet suit, oxygen tanks, rope, knife, and spearing gun
Shall I dive the ocean, hunt a tiger, spear a whale?
Or experience oxygen deprivation just for fun
**********************************
One last inventory, oh yes… don’t forget the food
Traps for bears, rods for fish, bandages just in case
I think I’m ready now… Time to hit the road
Just need to fix my hiking boots or I’ll go no place
**********************************
What’s that Mom? Dinner is ready?
Oh darn! Please, just one more round!
It took forever to raise all these levels!
Yes ma’am. Sorry. Come on silly old hound.

Perhaps I should have called this one “A Millenial Adventure”
🤣🤣🤣
