Disclaimer: I did not write this poem. It was in a book call 'What Katie did' by Susan Coolidge.
If I were a bird
And you were a bird,
What would we do?
Why, you shold be
little and I would be
big,
And, side by side on a
cherry-tree twig,
We'd kiss with our
yellow bills, and coo--
That's what we'd do!
If I were a fish
And you were a fish,
What would we do?
We'd frolic, and whisk
our little tails,
And play all sorts of
tricks with the whales,
And call on the oysters,
and order a 'stew'--
That'swhat we'd do!
If I were a bee
And you were a bee,
What would we do?
We'd find a home in a
breezy wood,
And store it with
honey sweet and good.
You should feed me
andI would feed you
That's what we'd do!
