Did you skip school
Make prank phone calls
Get set up on a blind date
Call someone a fool
Shoot a gun
Watch someone’s breath begun
Cry yourself to sleep
Watch a pet fall of its feet?
Fly in a plane
Visit another land
Travel to the opposite side of the world
Stand at the Grand Canyon
And call?
Vote donkey
Watch democracy die?
Serve on a jury,
without losing your mind?
Got lost,
Was lost
Scream get lost!
Felt loneliness’ frost.
Play cowboys and Indians
Recently coloured with crayons.
Play cops and robbers,
Have an unnatural fear of clowns.
Sing karaoke, even a duet,
Loud and proud.
Pay for a meal with only coins and sweat.
Laugh until your drink came out of your nose,
Catch a snowflake on your tongue,
Write sensitive prose?
Have a child
Buy a pet
skinny-dip with a friend,
you had only just met?
Go fishing
Gone fishing
Catch a fish
Row a boat
Scream downhill on snow
Ski on the end of a rope.
Fly a kite
Go camping, sleep in a caravan
Pitch a tent,
Ride a motorcycle,
Take a bet.
Bungee-jump into a ravine?
Cuddle in front of a drive-in screen,
Until the glass fogged up,
And you were corrupt.
Did something that could have killed you?
Have a regret that will always be with you?
Ride an elephant,
Smell a camel,
Eat cookies for a day,
Live on TV dinners in May.
Steal a traffic sign, and
Attach it to your bedroom wall?
Like a boy.
Crash a car into a pole,
Get admitted to hospital for 24.
Get locked up by the pigs.
Donate blood.
Get fined for speeding,
get a piercing, get a tat,
buy a four wheel drive vehicle,
like all the other fools.
Buy your dream car
get married
file for divorce
Fall in love
Discover irreconcilable differences
Like all the rest.
Pay for a stranger’s meal,
buy sex just to feel?
Drive over the speed limit,
publish a book
eat snails
Swim in the Ocean
dive with a tank
get smashed?
Fall back to earth?
And love Major Tom
to the end.
