I Prefer Being Myself
Being a sailor makes me homesick all the time.
Being a policeman makes me not to indulge in crime.
Being a teacher makes me smart and intelligent.
Being a cowboy makes me learn how to shoot.
Being a boxer makes me get bellows everyday.
Being a murderer makes me feel guilty.
Being a dustman makes me filthy always.
Being an angel makes me settle in heaven.
Being a poet makes me learn how to rhyme.
I prefer being myself,
Even if burnt to ashes;
Even if moulded into clay;
I will prefer being myself.
