Happy To Be A Human Poem by alan brown

Iam Happy to be born a human
as I could have been born a frog.
That would sit all day in the sunshine
on his woodland log.

I could have also been a deer
that stood upon a hill
or just a little piglet
scratching for its fill.

I could have been an Elephant
upon an African plane
But I don't think being an Elephant
would be quite just the same

I might have been a Tiger
as Tigers like to roar
But the stripes would not suet me
of that I am quite sure
.
So I am happy to be a human
and live a life that's plain
As being anything else
would never be the same
