You can be anything you want to be as long as you believe!

By: Daylen J. Wheeler

Look this is what my teacher told me

He said

I know I can

I know I can

Be what I want to be

Be what I want to be

If I work hard at it

If I work hard at it

I’ll be where I want to be

I’ll be where I want to be

If you want to fly high

You have to believe in yourself and try

If you want to go far

You have to work real hard

Then one day you can buy a nice car

If you want to fly like a bee

You just have to listen to me

We can get through this me and you

Just follow these steps I introduce

You have to put down the video games

Put some education in your brains

So that then you can be famous like T-Pain

Or even bigger than Lil Wayne

This might sound lame

But if you do this you will soar like a plane

My teacher’s name was Mr.Lasley

He always talked about capacity

He was as big as a bed

White as a spread and

His neck was really red

When I was in trouble and my mom found out

I knew I was dead

The weird thing was that his mustache was always moving

But the music he played was very soothing

He was bald

Had a squeaky voice and

Was kind of nice

His hands looked like big blocks of ice

Sitting there drinking his coffee

Doing paper work that was kind of sloppy

Staying at school for like a million hours

I know his mouth had to taste a little sour

He does this stuff so that y’all can get an education

So that then we can become a sensation

Even though he wasn’t that nice

The one thing I know is that Mr.Lasley changed my life
