A Pome a Day for a Year

When I was a kid – a fair ways back –
I wanted to be all manner of gownups!
Some more attainable than others!

Obvious to all nowadays,
Astronaut!
was my super secret never told anyone biggest
most ultimate dream of all time,
but you need to be a specific kind
of human travelling into space,
to train oneself,
to understand physics and numbers,
and little me had enough knowledge
of lacking the capabilities.

Second closest though,
oh that sequel dream
to be Indiana Jones!
Bull whip and hat, rollicking thrilling
jet-setting deep dives in jungles,
gold and gems the destiny,
traps and spikes the apprehension!
Exploration has always had a hold on me
and whether it be earth, or sea or space,
the unknown interests!
