You Can’t Play Tag with a Turtle

You can’t play tag with a turtle,

and elephants don’t hide and seek.

You never go swimming with kitties

or tell a giraffe not to peek.

Now, guppies just aren’t built for football,

and hippos can’t balance a bike.

You’ll not see moose at the opera

or take a fat hen on a hike.

A buffalo’s no good at jump rope,

and turkeys don’t dance well at all.

A camel can’t play the piano;

a garter snake can’t catch a ball.

BUT

All creatures are skillful at something,

and that goes for boys and girls too.

What we can’t do is not that important.

What matters is what we can do!
