The Charity Jump

Insanity enters my distorted simple mind To raise funds for charity for some unknown, Impulsive, heroic, death defying, maligned Save children or animals or even Sierra Leone mind can do anything, though body unwilling Something not to taxing, not energetic Ruled out running, climbing, and no swimming Beginning to feel a little pathetic, Perhaps drive through the Sahara desert Without knowing my destination no route, Daft thoughts, my mind I need to reassert Yes Jump out an airplane with a parachute. I start training, how to fall to mother Earth Without those possible leg injuries, Begin to wonder what my life's worth Could be my end, heavens inquiries, Adrenaline flowing as entering airplane, Over One thousand feet, ready, yet unwilling No turning back, Am I brave, stupid, insane, Will this end in sorrow or will it be thrilling, Time has come I must jump, mind now blank, I fall out legs kicking, wind rushing by, Ninety seconds to Earth, a jolt my heart sank, canopy had opened, I'm not going to die. ( I ripped three ligaments in my right foot When landing wrong, Doctor advised not To do this again, though I would love to)
