I no longer want to be a gooseberry!
But wouldn’t it be merry – very –
To be a duckberry, – what?
I’d like that a quacking lot!
Or a turkeyberry for that matter
And never run out of chatter.
A swanberry – yes, that would be nice.
A swanberry – cool as ice:
With cygnetberries all in a row
Waiting to turn into snow.
Anything! Anything but a gooseberry!
I’m nothing but a hairy what’s–the–use–berry!
