A poem about the possibility of becoming a mythical creature

If I were a fairy I would dance through the air
With a rose petal dress and flowers in my hair

If I were a mermaid I would swim in the sea
With a beautiful tail of bright emerald green

If I were a dragon I would have scales of bright red
Claws hard as steel, and piercing eyes in my head

If I were a unicorn I would be a glorious sight
With a sharp, glittering horn and a mane of pearly white

But I am not a fairy, nor a mermaid or a dragon
Though I dream of all these things, I can only imagine
