Hey Tiger!

 

Hey parrot!

Lend me those wings,

just for today I promise,

sit still and squawk

as I swoop and soar,

chasing the air around me.

 

Hey zebra!

Lend me those hooves,

just for today I promise,

sit down and observe

as I gallop and leap,

faster than anything nearby.

 

Hey tiger!

Lend me those paws,

just for today I promise,

lie there and watch

as I sprint and dash,

racing the wind beside me.

 

Hey animals!

Lend me your skills,

just for today I promise,

rest and relax

as I dart and dive,

my day of being you has arrived.
