First of all comes breathing
That’s the heart of our story
Yet maybe it isn’t qualifying
As it’s involuntary.
So here we go, only a partial list
Add your own as you may wish:
Walking, talking, laughing, smiling
Hugging, kissing, joking, listening
Being ironic, occasionally scowling
Singing, surfing, being beguiling
Clowning, dancing, apologizing
Coming, going, visiting, staying
Not included this time around
Are spelunking, and especially undertaking
No activities, please, that are under the ground.
