If I was a frog
I’d sit on a log
and stick out my tongue
and catch flies
If I was a worm
I’d wriggle and turn
and dig a deep hole
where I’d hide
If I was a bee
I’d buzz round a tree
and dive into flowers
to make honey
If I was a mouse
I’d live in your house
and eat all your cheese
and your bread
if I was a snail
I’d leave a white trail
and sleep in a shell
on my back
If I was a child
I’d live in the wild
if my mum and my dad
said I could
Then what I’d do
is start my own zoo
with the ants and the slugs
I’d sit on a log
and stick out my tongue
and catch flies
If I was a worm
I’d wriggle and turn
and dig a deep hole
where I’d hide
If I was a bee
I’d buzz round a tree
and dive into flowers
to make honey
If I was a mouse
I’d live in your house
and eat all your cheese
and your bread
if I was a snail
I’d leave a white trail
and sleep in a shell
on my back
If I was a child
I’d live in the wild
if my mum and my dad
said I could
Then what I’d do
is start my own zoo
with the ants and the slugs
and bugs too
playful! i like!
