Skydive

There’s something to be said for shooting blanks
I get seven free tiles and my mind cranks
     The word I choose is “Skydive”
     Hoping to return alive
Just one of many wild-eyed pranks

Bucket list items have been on my mind
To lose at Scrabble games, I am resigned
     Soar with birds and feel so free
     But something’s approaching me
Scrabble police! When I land, I’ll be fined!
