    Wink I Want To Be:

    Wrote This For Fun

    I want to be:

    I want to be a Soldier but mum says im to brittle,
    I just know I can do good, I just have to grow a little
    I have my gun and Im ready to make her proud
    Mum tells me to shh and that im being far to loud

    I want to be a Policeman and hear my siren roar!
    I see the bad guys get caught and I know its not a bore
    I have my hat and handcuffs and im ready to protect
    Mum tells me to shh and show her some repsect

    I want to be a singer, and to make lots of money
    I think it would be great, and im not just being funny
    I have my voice and it's real good
    Mum tells me to shh she really wishes I would

    I know I want to be a lot but for now I am only little
    Soon my mum wont have a chance to tell me I am brittle
    I hope up to now I have done her proud
    My Mum really doesnt mind when im being far to loud.

    well, that is fun - very playful
    it was hard for me to know if all the "mistakes" are intentional or not
    I do think that a beat or two could come off the last line, and maybe the "shh" brought back one more time with a twist at the end
    nice sing-song rhythm and rhyme overall

    yaayy this was nice! ^_^ took me back to school-days.

    Suggestion: start everything from the left side. Would make it easier to read.

    Nice work. Took out the child in me.
