My Bucket List

This is my FaceBook post for today. I thought I'd post it here for those who don't FaceBook.

.
Before I go, I'd like to have high cheekbones.

I'd like to talk less like New Jersey, and more like Claire Bloom.

And whenever I enter a room, I'd like an orchestra to burst into my theme song.

I'd like to have a theme song before I go.


Before I go, I'd like to tap dance.

I'd like to play seven-card stud like a pro, not like a dunce.

And I'd like Robert Redford, just once, to slide his fingers down my back
from my neck to my waistline.

I'd like to have a waistline before I go.


Before I go, I'd like to win the door prize.

I'd like to be thought of as valiant and brilliant and thin.

And I'd like, when offered a choice between duty and sin, to not
immediately choose duty.

I'd like a couple of offers before I go.


Before I go, I'd like to make things better.

I'd like to be told I've been more of a joy than a pain.

And I'd like those I love to know that they are the ones,
if I could do it again, I'd do it with.

I'd like to do it again before I go.
