Bucket List

I decided to put some thought Into my bucket list today I examined some metal ones And worried they would rust away I remember that plastic one I really liked the way it felt But if it becomes hot out there I'm afraid my bucket would melt Are there buckets made of rubber? I think that would be really fine If they haven't been invented Then I could create the design So many choices and colors I'm going out of my mind My list is getting much longer Why's my bucket so hard to find I've heard of kicking the bucket I guess the frustration'sreal great Oh where oh where is my bucket? That I need to carry my Bait The most important thing to do Is to go fishing with my son To hell with this dumb bucket list I'll just use my tired old one Bucket List Better to live and enjoy people instead of being caught up in The details of all the things we wish we had done. Live in the now.
