I don't know
What am I doing here?
 Its three o clock in the morning.
 I should be asleep, in bed, like a good girl.
 But instead, I stay awake, to write this poem for you.
 
 I wish I could be an ice skater.
 But everytime I try to skate,in stead of soaring in smooth circles, I soar to my rear.
 I wish I could be a gymnast.
 But I can't make a handstand.
 I wish I could be a spy.
 Wouldn't it be great to be able to have everyone who underestimates me learn that I have a double life?
 But I can't walk without creaking the floorboards.
 So what can I do?
 
 I can sit here at three o clock in the morning.
 
 Or, my friend, we can take a drive in my station wagon down fantasy road.
 I know my wheels are flat and I'm almost out of gas, but I need a companion and nobody else will come.
 And maybe,
 who knows,
 you might bring with you some fuel to keep me going.
