BUCKET LIST

BUCKET LIST

I've heard of teenage lads,

 Writing a ‘bucket list’,

How bloody ridiculous when,

All they really want

Is to get laid and pissed.

They’d like to meet a celebrity,

And try to get kissed.

Popular on ‘Face book’

Without getting ‘dissed’.

How about working hard,

To better your station,

And learn new skills to

Improve our nation.

Switch off your computer game,

And feel a world of elation,

Speaking face to face,

 Not in a cyber conversation.

So, try to leave the ‘bucket list’

To middle aged men,

Who've missed out on youth

And want to try again.

Put down your phone

And see your friends again,

 Live your life now,

Not when you’re two score and ten.

The bucket list was a poor film anyway,

Get out with your friends

And enjoy everyday.
