I Wish I Was An Animal

By Casey O'Connor
Cedar Creek Elementary School

I wish I was an animal,
And this is what I'd do.
I'd turn into a dog,
And sleep the whole day through.

And if I was a bird,
I'd fly all through the town.
Wouldn't it be fun,
To go over, under, up and down.

And if I was a cat,
This is what I'd do.
I'd lie around the house,
And take a catnap, too.

I wish I was an animal,
Wouldn't it be fun?
But now I'm sorry to tell you,
That my poem is all done.
