    What To Do If You Are....

    If I were a basketball, they'd
    Bounce me
    Pass me around

    Going through the hoop
    Score!

    Biting my friends fingers right off.
    Eating everything.
    making nasty sounds.
    Exercising sooooo much on my wheel.

    Taking too many baths
    Taking the laziest way out
    Has a really boring time.

    Running through a breezy field

    Resting quietly in the barn now.

    If I were the stars I'd...
    Brighten up a dark city
    Making people happy

    Having a gorgeous body
    Leaving the night
    for the day to awaken.

    If I were a lady bug
    Flying through the air
    Munching on the leaves outside

    Going to sleep in the beautiful night time
    Hibernating in the hollow trees in the winter.

    Reread my story over and over again
    Publish
    Sell my books.

    If I were a Pegasus
    Soaring through the air was
    I am a flying horse.
    Appearing in Greek mythology
    Landing gently in the water
    Drinking fresh lake water
    Admiring my silky wings
    Teaching my babies how to fly
    Destroying the fire-breath dragon
    Carrying thunder bolts
    Going to the heavenly home
    of the gods.
    By: Brandi

    Standing there looking down at people
    Being very hot.
