Why Can’t I Be an Animal?

by Christina aged 11

Why can’t I be an animal?
I don’t like being a human,
I’d rather be a giraffe
than be a human so fashionable.

I want to be super tall,
I’m tired of seeing myself small
I’d rather eat leaves,
That’s what I want to believe.

I’d love to have brown
and yellow skin,
Than this disgusting pimple
under my chin.

Thank you that’s all I have to say,
Maybe I’ll be a giraffe one day…
