Show Me This! Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Where does one go...
To 'not' take those risks,
That ultimately benefit?
Every aspect of what life truly is.

And where does one go to show...
A life can be lived,
Without daring to take chances?
As they sit and romance a life enhanced.

How many are completely satisfied,
To have lived a life AND survived...
With a quality of it achieved and done,
Without one obstacle...
They had to face and overcome.

Show me this!
And I'll find you a moose,
With thick big lips.
Whose only concern...
Is finding a soft couch to lay on,
To spread latexed covered wide hips.
While munching on chips and onion dip!

And that will be one moose taking more of a risk,
Than anyone deliberately...
Taking a stroll down any street,
In fear of being mugged.
Or gundown by vacationing terrorists!
