DAD ALWAYS SAID

My Dad always said
That it’s up to me
He said it’s my choice
To be what I want to be

I tried to be a fish
Couldn’t hold my breath
Thought I’d be a spider
But scared myself to death

Tried Kangaroo hops
But I had no pouch
Then I tried to fly
My wings failed and… OUCH!

If I was a sloth
I’d put myself to sleep
Hmm, a baby chick
Peep, peep, peep, peep, peep

Went back to my Dad
Told him what I’d done
He laughed, smiled and said
Keep thinking, sounds like fun

LISTEN TO ME READ

I'm not really sure what I was thinking when I wrote this one... sometimes they just come out.
