Danny Looks for a Continent to Discover

Danny, a superlative explorer kept searching
Determined to find a lost continent
There has to be at least one out there no one has found!
He devoted his life to this quest, every moment thinking of it.

His parents could not relate.
Danny had given up his chances to date or marry.
He lived sixteen thousand miles away from them.
They had always planned to live vicariously through him.

Danny had other plans,
Glad to make his escape
Smothered by them, he never returned
Pretending to look for a continent.
This excuse as good as any.
