I loved! I loved! I loved it! what a absolute hoot of a poem by a crazy old galoot. I laughed from line one till the last line. You're a very talented man with a sharp sense of humor and a sense of adventure. I really enjoyed your poem thoroughly.
Well done
you're a star
Cool bananas and warm regards

    Cool bananas? Haven't heard that one for a while - you're showing your age.
    Glad you enjoyed my silly rhyme.

Well, too bad you missed the Monorhyme deadline cause this was a "hoot"! Fun to read, great lines and rhymes, and I would like to try:
Each day I'd try a new pursuit:
One day the tango, next the flute

Such a pity you missed the contest deadline. This is so funny and clever!
I loved the raid on the W.I. and your nerve including the wayward "s" on the nesxt line!
"Does not compute....." - the perfect lead into an excellent closing stanza. Moot or not, the whole thing's "bloody beaut"!

Money can certainly make your world go round. It doesn't give you happiness, but sends for it and it comes in a limo. If you cry full of loot, at least you'll be doing it in a luxurious settings.

    I'd like to at least try to see if happiness comes attached...

    Well, actually happiness is a matter of how you define the word. I'm always happy even when things are very bad, but my definition is certainly different from most.

I liked the tongue and cheek of this poem. I'm not sure how the picture relays to the thoughts here, but the poem has some good humor in it and I enjoyed reading and writing this review for it... John

    Bucket list = the list of things you would like to do before you shuffle off this mortal coil...

    I happen to know what a bucket list is. I just didn't find a correlation to the thoughts in this poem...

That's clever tucking the plural and excess S at the beginning of the following line--I did that and every other reviewer squawked, "Refute." Shame, shame. Yet...a Clever and well built mono that I thoroughly enjoyed. cvc

By all means a humorous muse of what we can and want to do. Do and say crazy things that we may never get the chance or the courage to do.
A daydreaming muse of the life to have and teh life that existed now.
The mono rhyme is there. And the rhyming words takes us all over the issues and places, LOL.
From parachuting to Women's Institute and over to war torn Beirut and finally the shoot at life for being such a jester, LOL.
Cheers, Ritchiesszzky.

This is great fun. Your examples and imagined incidents are brilliantly selected, and you maintain a single rhyme throughout. Very, very enjoyable.
