This Sort Of Animal

Pinterest 

If I were a bird, I think I should be a hawk

The sort no one would think to mock

 For I would be wild and free

Just like everyone wishes to be 

If I were a beast, I think I would be a wild cat

The sort nobody can long look at

For I would be the picture of stealth

My secrecy would be my wealth

If I were an insect, I think I should be a beetle

The sort that causes laughter so gleeful

For I would run hither and yon

Here and then there over a child's lawn

But as it is, I cannot be them all

So I must be content being this sort of animal

And all that entails

For now

P.S

Come Fly With Me
