Perspective Poem

I Am a Sloth

I am a sloth

I wonder If i can ever get anywhere

I hear other animals racing around

I see lots of leaves and other animals

I want to go fast like monkey

I am very slow, to slow

I pretend to be a monkey going fast

I feel bark on my hand as I climb

I touch lots of trees and leaves

I understand that I am slow and I will never win a race

I say, “’Just a little faster… please”

I dream of going really fast
