If I did have a neck
As long as a giraffe's
I would have teased all other creatures
As puny little dwarfs.
If I did have wings and feathers
As beautiful as a peacock's
I would flaunt them to all
And with pride and pleasure walk.
If I did have strength
As great as an elephant's
I would have bullied all animals
And made them my servants.
If I did have intelligence
As sharp as that of a man
I don't know what I should do with it
O God I would have surely gone mad!
This is a very well-composed poem for children, with great rhythm and rhyme; and the last line is perfect for closure. I very much enjoyed reading it.

I would like to translate this poem
Well written and dedicated towards the children.
