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?
