A Little Bit Funny

My friends often say
I’m a little bit funny

Because my ears are too big
and my nose a bit runny

When they watch me running
and jumping around

Sometimes they say,
“could you please slow down?”

But don’t you change
Dear Rabbit they say

Though you are a bit funny
we love you that way.

My friends often say
“Oh you gave me a scare!”

You are often so quiet
we forget that you’re there

But please don’t be loud
Little Mouse they say

Though you are too quiet
we like you that way.

My friends sometimes say
“your nose is high in the air”

And they say as a joke,
“we know you don’t care”

But they’re happy I can see
so very, very far

So sometimes I don’t see
what’s going on where we are

Please don’t you ever change
Tall Giraffe they say

Though your head’s in the clouds
we like you that way

My friends often say
“Old Tortoise is so slow”

It’s hard to know
if he comes or he goes

But please don’t run fast
Old Tortoise they say

We’re happy that you
are never too far away
