Poems

 

“Secret Ambitions” by C.Read and S.Salaberri.

People sometimes say to me:
“Tell me, what do you want to be?
I usually answer, “I don’t know,”
But it isn’t so:
I want to win an Olympic race,
I want to see the Earth from space,
I want to travel to Timbuktu,
I want to be rich and famous, too.
I want to star on Hollywood’s screen,
I want to invent a new machine,
I want to be clever and wise,
I want to win the Nobel Prize.
But most of all, I want to be
Healthy and strong, and happy.
