IF I WERE AN ANIMAL... <br /> <br />If I were an animal I wonder what I’d be, <br />a roaring proud lion or a busy little bee. <br /> <br />Perhaps I’d be a beautiful mare with a mane thick and wild, <br />grazing in a field on summer days so mild. <br /> <br />Then I’d have my flirting days in heat when I’m looking for a ride. <br />Yes that would be neat, strolling through a field with two stallions by my side. <br /> <br />Would I be a donkey belonging to a gypsy selling heather, <br />making money out of me on Blackpool beach for children’s pleasure, <br />I’d have nothing to look forward too, up and down all day. <br />Na, I don’t think I’d like to live my life that way. <br /> <br />I could be a farm animal, like a pig or a chicken, <br />but then I’d be turned into something finger licking! <br /> <br />Perhaps I’d be a tiger or a chimpanzee, <br />swinging from tree to tree as happy as can be. <br /> <br />How about an elephant with a long thick trunk, <br />a fox, a squirrel, or a dirty little skunk. <br /> <br />Why not a bird because I do love to sing. <br />Not a magpie or a seagull, but a real pretty little thing. <br /> <br />I’d fly to someplace nice that much is true, <br />but knowing my luck Id get bloody flu!<br /><br />Sandra Kerin Campbell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-i-were-an-animal-2/
