I’m a rich adventurer

I’m a rich adventurer,
Crazy for a laugh:
I’ve aquaplaned to Timbuctoo,
I’ve abseiled in a bath.

I’ve flown nude across the Andes,
And hopped to the cold North Pole:
Strapped myself to a rocket ship
To achieve some impossible goal.

I’ve spent a fortune on the backup,
(More on the T.V show);
All I want is to look a bit brave
And be applauded wherever I go.

I’m an Attention-Seeker,
Though I only go where it’s SAFE:
I’ve thrown all my money at science
(In technology I place MY faith).

I’m a rich adventurer,
I’m fed up with it all:
I’ve thrown in my lot with the real heroes
(But instead I just look a fool).
