An Odd Life

Maybe it’s just me But what I want to be Is something quite unheard of I would like to be a cat There’s not much better than that But that isn’t the part that’s strange I want to be one that lives in the ocean And for a cat that’s an odd emotion Because cats don’t like to swim And the idea doesn’t flow That I’d also like to glow And be my own flashlight I’m aware it’s unreasonable And probably not feasible So I’ll settle for the next best thing I’d like to be a geneticist So my dreams will not be dismissed And I may watch strange creatures grow Maybe it’s just me But what I want to be Is only a little uncommon
