Larry Belt Poet Rhyme

If I Wasn'T Me

Sometimes I often wonder
What if I wasn't me?
If I could be anything else
What would I wanna be?

Maybe I'd be a garden gnome
And protect those beautiful flowers
Or maybe I'd be a rain cloud
That brought those april showers

What about a tree so tall
It could almost reach the sky
Or maybe I'd be an eagle
To know how it feels to fly

I could even be a doughnut hole
To see where they go when they're missin'
Or maybe Angelina Jolie's lips
The one's that were made for kissin'

And what about a color Tv
No, I don't like it when people stare
Maybe I'd be a leather jacket
For somebody cool to wear

Maybe I'd be something famous
Like some kinda new fangled disease
Or maybe I'll be a champion K9
No, just way too many fleas

Well I guess that's enough of that
Cause now I'm getting tired of traveling
See, this is the kind of poem that you write
When you see your whole life unraveling

Glad you didn't become any of those things because a poet is what you were meant to be thank goodness! Thanks for you comment on Military Kid. All the best, Ralph. P.S.
