Risk Taker

There are a few risks
you shouldn't take
Like playing jump rope
with a rattlesnake,
Or tasting the green thing
your brother baked,
Stitching a wound
with the caffeine shakes,
Driving a car
while cutting a cake,
Combing your hair
with a rusty old rake,
Swimming around in a yellow lake,
Bacon and butter and lard
on your steak,
Or using a forklift
while half awake.

But just TRY your spinach,
For goodness sake.

-B.C. Byron

Are your kids risk takers?
