If I was organised I could make a list
If I was busy I could wait a while
If I was falser I could force a smile
If I was needy I could ask a friend
If I was hopeless it might never end
If I was nearer I could pop and say hi
If I was braver I could give it a try
If I was taller I could probably reach
If I was smarter I could possibly teach
If I was French then I might say bonjour
If I was hungry I could ask for more
If I was wiser I would know im not
If I was targeted then I might get shot
If I was looser I could change my mind
If I was searching then I might just find
If I was brighter I might shed some light
If I was rougher I might look for fights
If I was wider then I might not fit
If I was tougher you might see my grit
If I was older I’d have seen more days
If I was truer you would know my ways
If I was hostile I would venge my foes
If I was nimble I would touch my toes
If I was kinder I would help my foes
If I was cleaner I would change my clothes
If I was honest I would speak my truth
If I was certain I would need no proof
If I was nosier I would need to know
If I was stunted I might want to grow
If I was faster I might win the race
If I was elegant I would show more grace
If I was lazier I would stay in bed
If I was cultured I’d be better read
If I was searching I might ask for clues
If I was sadder I would feel the blues
If I was hungrier I might eat cake
If I was sleepier I might not wake
If I was angrier I would shout and growl
If I was wetter I would find a towel
If I was greener then I would not fly
If I was private then I would not pry
If I was humbler then I would not boast
If I was not online I would not post
If I was richer I would pay more tax
If I was open then you’d need not ask
If I was creamier you would taste the curd
If I was wittier I would find the words
If I was thoughtful ( and I know im not )
I’d think about all the things ive got
I’d think about all the things I am
And realise that im just a man
With space to grow and change.
