Wild Free Me

Study your letters!
That’s what they said
But I wanted to paint my face blue instead!

Sit in your chair
Do your homework!
But I wanted to watch the woodpeckers work!

Learn about numbers
Understand fractions
But I wanted to see some magic in action!

Read this thick book
Then write a report
But I wanted to build the floor of my fort!

Put on this cap
Wear this blue gown
But I wanted to wear a cape and a crown!

I did what they said
I got my degree
But I wanted to always be wild free me!
