If I was an Elephant
My massive trunk I'd swing
Run straight into a forest lake
Shower myself and sing
If I was a Deer
My beautiful eyes would see
The dewdrops on the morning petal
And all of nature's bounty
If I was a Monkey
I'd leap and never fall
Mischief in each step
Laughter in every call
If I was a Lion
I'd roar loud and steady
Call out to my lionesses
Food would always be ready
If I was a Leopard
I'd camouflage my spots
Chase gazelles and zebras alike
And always protect my lot
If I was an Eagle
I'd soar in the majestic sky
I'd visit hidden lands
and watch rivers run dry
If I was a Dolphin
I'd cartwheel in the sea
Dance around in my school
And give hugs for free
If I was a Cockroach
Sleep would be miles away
I'd roam kitchens at night
sample tasty tidbits all day
If I was a Polar Bear
The majestic glaciers I'd view
Fight with penguins now and then
Make a friend or two
If I was a Koala Bear
I'd grab a tree tight
Enthrall you with my adorable face
Hang peacefully all night
If I was a Panda cub
I'd practice the art of kung fu
Bamboo shoots, the weapon of choice
for Dragon Warrior part two
Alas! I am but a Human
And I can do ALL of the above
but instead I sit here sighing
wishing for a life I'd love.
