Analysis of What Would You Be...?
jaimeleigh_m 1976 (LONDON)
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...
