We Are Not Very Different

We are not very different at all Yet, we kick the same ball We behave similarly We get up in the morning We brush our teeth regularly We smile, talk and sing We eat our breakfast Sometimes we walk fast Other times we walk slowly Because we're very lazy We do what we have to do We talk, drink, eat and chew We act weird or stupid a lot We seem to enjoy life We take a break on the mat We spit, fall, get up and laugh We return home We follow the same routine We call friends, dad or mom We learn not to be mean We shower, we go to bed We dream dreams that we forget We try not to be sad or bad And to behave as our own pet.
