Parachute Jump

If you are turning 90
And your life is in a slump,
Just grab a parachute, like Bush,
And have yourself a jump.

The elder Bush no longer walks
But all he needs to start
Is a sturdy chute, a plane, a pilot
And a lot of heart.

His first jump was in World War II,
His last at 85
And here he is at 90, shouting,
“Hey world! I’m alive!”

Though I never liked his politics,
This jump’s got me impressed;
Still, I’ll bet his doctor, watching,
Suffers cardiac arrest!
