Have You Ever
Have you ever climbed a tree?
Paddled rapids? Tamed a flea?
Have you touched a chimpanzee?
At one, I’ve been successful.
Have you dived into a lake?
Baked a cake or held a snake?
Have you used ID that’s fake?
My choice was not too stressful.
Have you ridden on a mule?
Won at pool? Cut some school?
Have you disobeyed a rule?
For one of those, I’m yes-ful.
All of us have things we’ve done
Or haven’t; still, for everyone
To learn the ways we’ve each had fun
Might end up quite impress-ful.
