Chique Geek - Risk

Risk's a funny word we hear a lot
Should you take it or should you not
We all must learn to take it
It's necessary, it's hard to fake it
For when we learn to toddle round
And raise ourselves up off the ground
We all must seize it, if you please
Or remain forever on our knees

To never ever get too frisky
Sure you'll not be very risky
Without it, slowing to a crawl
Without it, never standing tall
Often used to our own purpose
When we scratch beyond the surface
That's the funny thing about risk, risk, risk, risk

The guiding parent says to embrace it
Helping how to boldly face it
To stand in when a fastball comes
Knowing that we might get stung
Knowing in the hockey goal
Pain may accompany the toll
Confident that when the lessons done
Without it the game cannot be won

To never ever get too frisky
Sure you'll not be very risky
Without it, slowing to a crawl
Without it, never standing tall
Often used to our own purpose
When we scratch beyond the surface
That's the funny thing about risk, risk, risk, risk

Soldier warrior and the first responder
Drilled, instilled not to fail or ponder
To face with courage and resound
That risk is surely to be found
Charge headlong to battle's sound
Where honored hero's there are found
Not paralyzed by pesky fear
Life forfeit, the sacrifice clear

To never ever get too frisky
Sure you'll not be very risky
Without it, slowing to a crawl
Without it, never standing tall
Often used to our own purpose
When we scratch beyond the surface
That's the funny thing about risk, risk, risk, risk

So what solution will we find
To pacify both heart and mind
Treading the less traveled road
Requires risk and heavy load
You can't eliminate it all
To face it is the better call
Defensive postures tire and fail
Eliminate the cloak and veil

Politician's might manipulate us
Using risk as a scary warning fuss
Those who force us all to hate it
Be vigilant and mitigate it
Insurance fears of the unknown
Protections until fully grown
Markets always fluctuating
Beware small print buyer stating

To never ever get too frisky
Sure you'll not be very risky
Without it, slowing to a crawl
Without it, never standing tall
Often used to our own purpose
When we scratch beyond the surface
That's the funny thing about risk, risk, risk, risk

A funny word
A funny word
A funny word
A funny word
Risk
