My Bucket List

Don’t, and I’ll say it again, don’t do this
I mean make a bucket list
Then go out and try to fulfil it, especially if you pissed.
Here’s my list when I was pissed

Bungee jump from the back yard tree
Parachute from the house roof while having a pee
Roller skate on a three wheel ski
The list goes on but they nearly killed me

Well I used a rope instead of a bungee band
The snap I heard was when I hit the ground and broke my hand

Then with a double bed sheet I jump off the roof having a pee
You guessed it, crunch went my knee
Back from hospital, hand and knee in casts, I decide to go for a ski
With a crutch in one hand I push off Weeeeeeeee!
Crash a car hits me
Well I stopped and bucket list number 3

So, I’m in traction, pen in my left nostril writing this poem
Hopefully in the next six months I can go home


Oh if you wondering about the ski with the wheels, i bolted them on
