I could have ripped a tree to shreds whilst screaming Latin rhymes,
I could have made a frog a bed and fed it tiny limes,
I could have jumped a thousand leagues and travelled all through time,
I could have done it all, she said
But I don’t know, I never tried
I could have met a fairy king and turned my eyebrows blue,
I could have laid down in the moss and met a balding shrew,
I could have planted twenty legs and giggled as they grew,
I could have done it all he said
But I don’t know, I never tried
I could have vaulted to the moon and lived with Cheesy Steve,
I could have tracked down Big Foot’s lair and crotched him a sleeve,
I could have grown a ginger beard and wound it in a weave,
I could have done it all, she said
But I don’t know, I never tried
You told me I could catch a star and keep it in a clasp,
You told me I could conquer worlds and hold them in my grasp,
You said the world would be my lobster if I only ask,
I could do it all, you said
But I don’t know,
Perhaps I'll try.
