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

A great laff. Nice job, Larry. Don't know how you do it but keep em comin. 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. Are you retired or still working?
