Shel Silverstein — Never

I've never roped a Brahma bull, I've never fought a duel, I've never crossed the desert On a lop-eared, swayback mule, I've never climbed an idol's nose To steal a cursèd jewel. I've never gone down with my ship Into the bubblin' brine, I've never saved a lion's life And then had him save mine, Or screamed Ahoooo while swingin' through The jungle on a vine. I've never dealt draw poker In a rowdy lumber camp, Or got up at the count of nine To beat the world's champ, I've never had my picture on A six-cent postage stamp. I've never scored a touchdown On a ninety-nine-yard run, I've never winged six Daltons With my dying brother's gun... Or kissed Miz Jane, and rode my hoss Into the setting sun. Sometimes I get so depressed 'Bout what I haven't done.
