IFIf my Dad was a tree

He’d be a special Kauri Tree

Standing tall and strong

In the natural bush of New Zealand.

If my Dad was an animal

He’d be a funny chimpanzee

Hunting for food for his young

In the amazing jungle.

If my Dad was a puppet

He’d be all floppy and funny

Controlled by strings

But not in my eyes.
