I CAN’T

I can’t run like a cheetah….

I can’t twist my neck like an owl….
I can’t scamper or climb a tree like a squirrel….

I can’t jump out of the water like a whale ….

I can’t fly and glide like a hawk….

I can’t dive like an osprey….

I can’t make monkey sounds ….
I can’t be a fly on the wall….

I can’t do a beach dance like a sandpiper ….

I can’t change my colors like a chameleon …..

I can’t grab like a lobster or a crab ….

I can’t hibernate like a grizzly bear for 7 months….

I can’t hide like a mouse …. Well, sometimes….

So I can know what I can’t do as well as
what I can do. Can others?  How about you?
