Jennifer Juniper Josephine Green
The prettiest girl the world’s ever seen
She’s as fast as a cat
And as loud as a lion
And never there was
A tree she couldn’t climb.

One day she decided
I don’t want to be fast
I no longer want to be loud
I want to blend into the woodwork
Be just another face in the crowd.

So she spoke in a whisper
And walked on tip toes
She held her head so high
You could see up her nose.

With her pace now so slow
Her feet forgot how to run
And before too long
Being unheard on the playground
Was suddenly no fun.

So she changed her mind
Again to be
A lot of different things
Because “that’s just me.”
“It’s true I am pretty
And can sometimes be mean
But I am also very smart
And can climb most any tree.”

“Sometimes I talk
A few decibels too loud
My clothes often wrinkled
My mind up in the clouds.”

“But I run like a cheetah
So incredibly, SUPER fast
And if you are having a lousy day
I bet I can make you laugh.”

“I am me, just little me
That is all I can be,”
