Oh! How I Want Adventure! Poem by Sophia White

Oh! How I want adventure!
Perhaps I’m being dumb,
But how I’d love to sail the sea
An advocate of piracy
And drink that famous rum.

Oh! How I want some intrigue!
Maybe I’m just wrong,
But how I’d love to solve a case
And bring the world face-to-face
With conspiracy miles long!

Oh! How I want some action!
Perhaps you think me rude,
But how I’d love to stage escapes
From every prison, pit, and cage
Just to see if I could.

Oh! How I want some magic!
Maybe I’m just a fool
But how I’d love to breathe a flame,
A unicorn, a huge chess game,
An enchanted pool.

Oh! How I want adventure!
Perhaps I’m just a child,
But how I’d love to fight a foe,
To save a world, to get up and go!
To be free and fair and wild!
