I wanted to be a crab
Task didn’t seem so drab
Victims I will just grab
And go on sting and stab
I wanted to be an eagle
Be friends with a beagle
It seems so much legal
Flying free in air is regal
I wanted to be an octopus
But I missed the bus
Made a lot of useless fuss
Became minus instead of plus
I wanted to be a scorpion
Everything would be done
Poisoning others lots of fun
I will be inferior to none
I wanted to be a shark
My bite is worse than bark
Will gobble just for a lark
And leave permanent mark
I wanted to be a vulture
Tearing humans, my culture
I am a deadly mixture
I will be a lasting fixture
But my dream remains a dream
Some day a reality it may seem
