if I was a Marsupial

If I was a marsupial
I would stay in mama’s pouch
Which would save me from hurting
I would never have to say “darn” or “ouch”

Never stub my toe or injure myself
Snug as a cherished vase on a bookshelf
I would stay hidden, cozy and warm
In no danger from predators or a bad storm
