Something from Brian

Identity Parade

I would have been a runner but I didn’t have the legs

I would have been a chicken but I couldn’t lay the eggs

I would have been a singer but I didn’t have a voice

I would have been left-handed but I didn’t have a choice

I would have been an actor but I can’t remember lines

I would have been a psychic but I couldn’t read the signs

I would have been an artist but I couldn’t hold a brush

I would have been a twitcher but I couldn’t spot a thrush

I would have been a cowboy but I couldn’t ride a horse

I would have been the Pope but I needed a divorce

I would have played Test cricket but I couldn’t take a wicket

I would have been a poet but I really couldn’t stick it

I would have flown a bomber but I couldn’t bust a dam

I would have been myself but I don’t know who I am.
