Quick Q:
I want to swallow a doctor’s prescription booklet, so I never again have to get sick!

I Want To… But Never Again!
Poem — Date of Composition: June/July 2022.
I want to learn the entire French dialect,
So I never have to kiss you again!
I want to fill my bucket to the very brim,
So I never again have to make a bucket list!
I want to sit on the tallest elephant,
So I never again have to lie down!
I want to get drunk while under anesthesia,
So I never again have to throw up!

I want to dispose of all my footwear,
So I never again have to go to work!
I want to swallow a doctor’s prescription booklet,
So I never again have to get sick!
I want to jump from a plane without a parachute,
So, on land, I never again have to worry about safety!
I want to inhale a balloon while underwater,
So I never have to hold my breath again!
