Kick the Bucket-List

Hang-gliding over a lava-spewing Hawaiian volcano
   Flying a two-seater through the eye of a raging tornado

Bungee-jumping from the top of a skyscraper in Dubai
   Crossing a bed of coals barefoot on an LSD high  

Prying open the jaws of a vicious crocodile and peeking in
   Leading the army of Latvia against Russia, expecting to win

Competing in triathlons on consecutive days, back-to-back
   Crossing the Pacific Ocean on water skis, carrying a knapsack
 
Making expeditions to the North and South Poles in the same week
   Learning to speak Latin, Vietnamese, Chinese, Swahili, and Greek

Riding a camel across the Sahara Desert in mid-June  
   Wrestling an alligator, porcupine and angry baboon
   
O, Bucket List, Bucket List: Who could ever complete you?
   I'll just take care of my family instead ~ I won't even need you!

Truthfully, my real bucket list is nowhere near as exotic as yours! Thank you for weighing in on this one, Michelle. ~ Gershon

Yeah, me too, Tom. Mostly the loo every night at 10:00 p.m., 2:00 a.m., and 4:00 a.m. The Queen has her tea (at those hours, except a.m., p.m., p.m.); and I have my pee!
