HARDY RISK-TAKERS

There is safety and then there is
Safety. The steles on the pitch,
From the air, resembles stitches
Sewn in the field by a corporal.
Colonel, now there's a word. Insight
Bollixed up the need for thrills,
But another insight got the pipeline
Guarded by men with automatic guns
And now I find myself considering
Fractional ownership of the phone bill,
A modest anybody-goes-to-school
Considering the loss of wholeness
From the perspective of a neighbor,
Details consistent with what they'd
Live through, white glove inspection
Followed by tantrum. Reward follows
Risk, but only a percentage. A piece
Of eternal compound interest, though,
Oh you cute little residual. Yes,
We'll have none of it. Picnic time!
