What Would You Be...?



If I could be anything, what would I be...?

I'd like to be quite a lot of things actually...

A big bird for starters, soaring the sky, way up high, just so I could shit on someone's head without a guilty sorry to be said...

A fly so I could eat & talk shit all day long...

To come to an understanding why so many do...

A black widow spider...

I think we all know why...?

I could shag & kill on mother nature's time...

Oh my, Oh my...

To be a chameleon so I could camouflage the mood I'm in...

A cockle just to be loud & annoying every morning...

But I think I'd most like to be an ant... 

Yes that's right an ant I would most like to be...

Just because I love there whole strategies...

Every ant has a place within the whole colony...

A very unique purposeful special place...

Yeah that's a bit of me...

A swan another possibility for me because there love, forever with one unconditionally with outstanding loyalty...

A chicken to maybe... because I think I would taste great all cooked on someone's plate...

Yeah all of the above that's what I would love to possibly be...
