I thought I wanted to be a cat

But then I’d have to chase and eat a rat

And then some other cat may take it away

I think I’ll think on this another day.

And, hey, you never know

A dog may be the way to go

But then I’d have to bark real neat

Just to get a favored treat.

And how about a bird that flies so high

Up yonder in that bright blue sky

Then I could eat up all the worms

And no one would complain about the germs.

Or how about a bat that comes out at night

That gives most people a terrible fright

I could catch insects as I swoop and swoon

And sleep until the rise of the moon.

Maybe its best if I just stay me

 And explore all these wonders that I see

Then I can imagine being everyone

      And that to me would be more fun.
