Economist got it wrong
There aren’t three classes of risk reactions
There are four
Risk loving, risk neutral, risk averse,
Then me!
Risk ALLERGIC!
I am not one to play games
Not here for your inspirational quotes
Words don't fuel the nucleus in my blood cell
HELL NO!
I am not one to take risk
Don’t you dare tell me
“Nothing worthwhile is risk free”
This is my life we are talking about
In an age where, death from a bathroom slip
Has the same probability as being air-bombed in my house.
Don’t talk to me about stocks and diversifying my risk
HELL NO!
My skin would break out in hives
Epipen doesn't have my best interest at heart
Overpriced as the fake money you are all dividing
Don’t talk about skydiving to me
Don’t even mention diving into a pool
I am not gonna be a statistic in your risk pool
Any word starting with "di-"
is
DISASTROUS
Don’t tell me “just do it”
No no no honey
Not with your fist poised to your waist,
Because that isnt the stance of half-dead man
Which is what I'll be if I followed your advice.
Canister talk filled with compressed air
Tested in fire leaves a fatal explosion.
I warned you I was risk allergic
But you didn’t believe.
