I could have been outside today,
I could have played a game,
I could have eaten something new,
I could have found a lion to tame.
I could have bought a brand new book,
In fact I could have wrote it,
I could have built myself a boat,
And then learned how to float it.
I could have taken Spanish classes,
In that new school down the road,
I could have gone to the swamp,
And caught myself a toad.
I could have made a brand new friend,
I bet her name would have been Jane,
We could have bought new wellingtons,
And splashed out in the rain.
I could have learned how to ride,
A mighty black fast steed,
We could have had an adventure,
Running at a frightening speed.
I might have done my homework,
And maybe proof read it too,
My teacher wouldn't be mad at me,
If I'd had it done when it was due.
But, no I didn't do those things,
When I really should have done.
I sat in front of the telly today,
I watched the things I could have done.
