APED: "let's have an adventure"

Cool. I like your poems a lot, so I don't want to post anything in the comments that might make you less likely to post them.

Possible things you could do to improve the scansion or grammar follow. All are unnecessary to make the poem enjoyable, and both scansion and grammar work reasonably anyway, but I thought you might like to see them so you'd see where I ran into hitches in the fluency of my reading.

Have you considered a 'the' in the second line before 'guns'? I had to read it twice to make the rhythm work. It does, but not with the stresses I first assumed.

Adding 'go' at the start of the next line might signal the change of verbal mood more clearly.

I think you should change the full stop after 'helmets on heads' to a comma. It's a list of four things, so I couldn't see why it stops in the middle.

You could go for something like 'bare white knees' instead of 'baring knees' to keep the list items in the same grammatical shapes as each other. That does make an assumption about the narrator, of course, but it seemed to me to go with the pith helmets. Sorry, if I'm wrong.

The whiskey line needs a 'for', but I can't find a place for it. Maybe something like 'and whiskey, for if we are cold', although that would naturally mean finding a rhyme for cold (bold?) instead of for batons.
