If I were a rabbit <br />I would hop all around <br />I would nibble carrots <br />Without making a sound <br />If I were a lion <br />And even if I was full of might <br />As I was defeated by an ant <br />So I am on a vegetarian diet <br />If I were a fish <br />I will swim in the water <br />I won’t dare come out <br />Because then it will be hotter <br />If I were a horse <br />I would participate in races <br />And secure the first place <br />And look at happy faces <br />If I were a giraffe <br />I would have a view from the top <br />But I am still unlucky <br />Because I can not hop <br />If I were a kangaroo <br />I would hop around with a pouch <br />But I hope I won’t fall down <br />Otherwise I will say ‘ouch! ! ’ <br />If I were a penguin <br />I would walk like a baby <br />If the weather becomes hot <br />I will have a swim, may be <br />If I were a monkey <br />I would sit on a tree <br />And keep throwing berries <br />On a poor old donkey <br />If I was that donkey <br />I would chew up the monkey <br />Even though I know <br />He is not that tasty <br />If I were a cockroach <br />I would steal food from the larder <br />I just hope my other task <br />Doesn’t become harder <br />If I were an eagle <br />I would soar in the sky <br />And look at my sumptuous prey <br />From up so high <br />If I were a camel <br />I would store food on my back <br />And then I will move on <br />Carrying it like a sack <br />If I were a peacock <br />I will dance in the showers <br />Amongst the tall trees <br />Amongst the beautiful flowers <br />If I were a sparrow <br />I will fly or eat grains <br />Bur even if I only do that <br />I still have lots of brains <br />If I were a duck <br />I will wade in the lake <br />But I will stop the poem here <br />Or you will shout, ” stop for heaven’s sake”<br /><br />Risha Ahmed (12 yrs)<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-i-were-a/
