The Narrow Squeak Show Chapter 6

That goldfish bowl......... 
Wedged on my head, 
did nothing instead 
Just left an almighty hole, 
where I dropped,like a piece of lead 
(Not a piece of eight!) 
Is it me? 

Well, never mind 
Lets see what I can find 
There is a light up ahead............. 
Maybe a bite to eat and a bed 

Whew! 
What a week it's been 
Spaceflight! 
More like space fright! 
That chap upfront 
Clearly insane in the head 
I pushed his buttons instead! 
(Especially the red one!) 

You can't say I didn't try 
I don't want to space fly 
Those chaps  up front 
That lout! 
Clearly didn't know what is was all about! 

It's been a busy one 
All said and done! 
I jot down my scribbles, 
while eating my nibbles 

Quite a few narrow squeaks, 
These past weeks!! 
I like a challenge or two 
Make mine a double! 
As I clawed  my way through the rubble! 

My bullet charm............. 
worked an absolute treat! 
Even though its missing a "T" 
I have come to no harm 
No mean feat! 

I nearly choked on that steak! 
Fortunately that Chilean red wine 
dissolved it in time! 
I feel so alive! 
Drinking Octane 95! 

I can't go to heaven 
I haven't even started chapter seven 
The next challenge to try........................ 
Lets see if I can die!
