We Can Be Anything!

I can be a dog and you can be a frog,
together we’ll stomp in the sludgy old bog.
Then we’ll go into the misty fog and hang upside down on the twisty brown log.

I can be a whale and you can be a snail,
cling to my tail and together we’ll sail.
Swimming high, swimming low, just saw a sea-lion collecting his mail!

I can be a bear and you can be a hare,
together we’ll bounce down to the fair.
Roller coaster or dodgems, which do you dare?
Either way, we’ll have fuzzy hair!

I can be a fly and you can be a spy,
together we’ll be the eyes in the sky…
Looking, listening, wondering why?
Simple Simon ate so much pie!
