Left Undone. Poem by Michael Walker
Left Undone.
There are many things in life I have not done:
My time to do them is running out.
I have never been trekking, hiking or mountain biking,
Yet I believe in physical fitness.
I have never been deep-sea fishing for big game,
Though I am not the shallow type.
I have never gone underwater diving with an aqualung either:
I keep things on the surface out there.
I have never gone hunting in the bush for wild pigs and deer:
I don't believe in killing animals for sport.
(I want all firearms removed from the world) .
I have never had a dog or pet inside the house:
I am happy with the two of me.
I have never ridden a Harley Davidson or any motorbike:
I drove a bulletproof sedan all the time.
I have never tried bungee jumping or abseiling,
Though they might give a cheap thrill.
I have never written a biography or nonfiction book;
My one regret no matter where I look.

There is a risk factor in most of the things on the list, or else they are trendy or macho which I am not.... love these lines. Dear Michael sir, it is a beautiful poem in which the feeling of a good person has been painted nicely. I appreciate your feeling. Your penmanship is nice and amusing. I enjoy... My time to do them is running out. I have never been trekking, hiking or mountain biking, .. Thanks for sharing..10
I appreciate your comment very much. It is good if I can entertain a little with a few jokes. I like to think I am a good person like yourself.
I wanted the setting out I had, of a long line alternating with a shorter one. The way you have set it out takes away much of its appeal. Can you not indent my lines?
