My Three Talents
To fly in the sky on just the first try and without the use of a plane
I could be anywhere without even a care, some might think that I’m truly insane.
For the money I’ll save I’ll just have to be brave and remember to be a good flyer
I’ll be flying with class, no more paying for gas as the prices go higher and higher.
Just decide where to go, be a traveling pro without even the use of a guide
Within minutes I’m there, without even a care with my skill I will travel worldwide.
It is just what I feel, to make this become real, even if it is only a dream.
But they’re other ones too, which I’ll now share with you, after all, that is this week’s theme
I will learn a great deal, every grunt, roar, and squeal, as I pick up new words I can say.
I will talk like the birds using only their words, as for donkeys with them I’ll just bray.
And frogs I will croak as I tell them a joke that I heard from a penguin last night.
As the dogs and the cats have their usual spats I will calmly discuss who is right.
Let the elephant call after having a fall I will be there to help rather quick
And the vets I will tell if a shark is not well for their job is to deal with the sick
It will not be so bad for this skill I’ll be glad as I learn the ways animals speak.
My plan is quite clear, pick it all up by ear, and to master them all in one week.
From the day I was born, you could hand me a horn, and a song I could play rather soon.
And as I grew older, my talents grew bolder, for each song was a masterful tune.
Any instrument at hand, I could play far from bland, as an expert without even knowing
If I’d played it before, it was far from a chore to play whether bowed, struck, or by blowing
As to learning by ear I would just have to hear a tune once or so they did say
That in a short while, I’d return with a smile with an instrument ready to play
That very same song and a harmony quite strong and just right in a singable key
Yes, this song that was found, with its beautiful sound such a pleasure as you’ll all agree.
These talents I flaunt are just things that I want for adventures I’d sure like to get
With these skills that I prize, which will catch other’s eyes, my future plans soon will be set
But the problem I fear is the future is near and to do all of this will take time
Maybe I’m not the one, to be having this fun after all I am not in my prime
But maybe someday, they will find a way, for then I could make it my mission
To fly, speak, and play, learn it all in a day, all my dreams would then come to fruition.
So to put you all straight, we will just have to wait to see if my future is bright
But till then have no fear, I will always be here, as long as there’s something to write.
