Laughing With Me
I tried to play tennis but looked like a goose
They took some pictures, said this is no use,
I could hit the ball, but in the wrong place!
Then I tried basketball, for I was tall
Most of the time I could not get the ball,
And everyone knew my name was not grace!
Thought running or track might be my talent
Tripped on my feet, on the pavement went,
So pretty I lay there, with a red face!
An athlete, not me, but I’ll tell you this
With the right attitude, you cannot miss,
If you laugh at yourself, you’ve won the race!
