If I were an animal what would I be,
A dog or bat, a fish or somethin’ like that
But those aren’t fun, how about something like me
That’s the hard part, too many to look at
If I were an animal what could I be,
Maybe something big or wild and crazy
I will change to the area around me
Yeah a chameleon,that is just daisy
If I were an animal I know what I’d be
I’d be a chameleon, because it just suits me.

People adore me,
I’m man’s best friend.
Cute and cuddly,
I’m loyal to the end.
You can tell me your secrets,
Which I’ll never repeat.
I can comfort you,
Any day of the week.
I can be your best buddy,
Though I sometimes get muddy.
I can be your best friend,
And if you’re sad,
Your heart I can mend.
I’m a dog,
Loyal and kind,
The best friend,
You ever could find.
This is the animal I would choose to be.
I’d look in the mirror and a dog I would see.

A Dolphin
Wishhh wishhh wishhh in the moonlight
I walk up to the beach, I walk up to the sand.
I walk up to the ocean and here I stand.
I see the dolphins jump all the way across the ocean.
I also hear them go ahhhhhhh.
There's a school of dolphins going to school.
The bell just rang, they're out of school.
They jump and whistle in the morning light.
When it's night they say Good night.

If I were an animal, any to be
I would, without fail, take humanity.
Where is the point of muscles like steel,
When endurance is bolstered by the masterful wheel?
Why would want I the eyes of the hawk,
When words have such value, lose the power to talk?
Why disappear, as the octopus may,
If I would be hunted? If I would be prey?
If I had to decide what creature I would be,
I would be man; lord of earth in reality.
I would rather be one of my kind.

I would be a dog. A dog sniffing the air, protecting people, helping the blind. A dog with a great owner who would teach me treaks. A wonderful, helpful, cute, courageous, talented dog. A dog with amazing smell. A happy dog, Living in a world with other dogs to play with. I would be outside having fun with those other dogs in the wonderful world we live in. I would be a dog.

Wishing to Be
I wish I wish that I could be
A Lion under a Savannah Tree.
I could be fast as lightning
Which is sometimes frightening.
I would be strong to leap
Into grass so deep.
I would be beautiful, like the sun
While I leap, and play, and run.
I would be free to lay and look at the sky
While I watch clouds floating so high.
I would watch for shapes in those clouds
It would be silent with no crowds.
I wish, I wish that I could be
A Lion under a Savannah tree.

Cool night air cushioning my wings,
as I soar through the silent sky.
Eyes picking out movement,
as I soar through the silent sky.
Swooping low with razor talons,
as I soar through the silent sky.
I alight on branch, listening to the forest.
I am an owl, soaring through the silent sky.

The fresh aroma of eucalyptus fills my nostrils as I take a deep breath soon after awaking from my slumber. What am I? I am a koala.
High school can be immensely stressful. Making sure assignments are on time, grades are acceptable, and balancing numerous extra curricular activities.
I would enjoy being a koala, cute and care free. Koalas sleep at least 16 hours a day and the remainder of the hours are spent calmly lounging in the branches of a tree. A life as a koala would be perfect for me.

If I could be an animal I woud be a dog. I would be a dog because I love to run and play just like a dog. If someone asks me "Do you want to come ouside with me?" Thean I'm out the door before them. Another reason is that I am lovable. It's easy to love me and it's easy for me to love you back. I also get attached to someone very fast. I'm also very caring like a dog towards its owner. That's what kind of animal I would be and why.

So I narrow my list now. And came to the conclusion that the animal that I want it to be was a bird. It doest matter the kind or the color. All it matters is that most birds are free. Fist of all the many reasons that our out there. They fly also they don’t have to worry about what there going to eat, or going to work. Another is that they being cared by god closely and most of the birds symbolize some thing and any one admires them. Who wouldn’t want to be one
