If A Mouse

Christina Georgina Rossetti

If a mouse could fly,
  Or if a crow could swim,
Or if a sprat could walk and talk,
  I’d like to be like him.

If a mouse could fly,
  He might fly away;
Or if a crow could swim,
  It might turn him grey;
Or if a sprat could walk and talk,
  What would he find to say?
