Boldly I Go!A Poem by Michael StevensRocketing to "Braverdude Sphere'!![]() I've made up my mind to be braver
than brave,
Stronger than strong, facing the
future with grace,
Afraid of nothing; manning up
and---except who am I kidding?
More like, "Sniveling, I fold like
a cheap tent
In a windstorm; wilt like the
Coward Flower
In a hurricane; like a sad sack of hidden fear
In a 3-piece suit, except I'm about
3 pieces short;
I am afraid I'd give you the wrong
impression;
That you'd think I was showing off
No, informal clothes and formal
fear is how I roll!
