If...I'D...No.

If I were a bird, I'd be soaring through the skies. If I were a cat, I'd be curled up by the fire. If I were a dog, I'd be running gleeful in the woods. If I were a salmon, I'd be swimming strong up river. If I were a squirrel, I'd be scurrying up a tree. If I were a lion, I'd be stalking a prey. If I were a antelope, I'd be sprinting across the Savanah. If I were a monkey, I'd be swinging from the trees. If I were a penguin, I'd be out smarting a shark. If I were a shark, I'd be ruling the sea. If I were imagining I was any of these, I'd most definitely, right now, not be me.

How clever, Leander. Imagination lets us assume many roles, but in the end we find ourselves again. Nice work!
