Moonwalker by Carol Diggary Shields
1. I’m a moonwalker, walking on the moon
2. I’m a jungle stalker, stalking wild baboons
3. I’m a superhero, skimming through the blue
4. Puddle jumping, leaf-pile leaping, I’m a kangaroo.
5. I’m a desert rattlesnake, sliding through the sand
6. Counting out the beat, I’m the leader of the band.
7. I’m Tyrannosaurus, looking for a snack,
8. Whoo – whoo! I’m a train, rolling down the track.
9. I’m a red eyed robot, clanking up the road,
10. I’m an eighteen – wheeler with a heavy load.
11. I’m a famous rock star: moving very cool.
Actually,
I’m just me,
Walking home from school.
