Appendix A
I'll tell you about
the career that I chose;
it definitely keeps me
on my toes. A Ballerina!
I've been practicing since
a very young age.
Now I travel around
and perform on the stage.
I'm graceful and pretty,
but I'm also real strong.
My body is thin
and my legs are quite long.
I often wear pink
and love satin and lace.
Watch me twirl, flit and flutter
all over the place.

A lot of kids think

that they want to be me.
Danger 's my best friend
and my enemy.

Hot Shot! When I'm summoned to duty

I'm often alarmed.
Still, I help lots of people
stay safe and unharmed.

Who Am I? I wear a cool hat

and a raincoat and boots.
Which I'd much rather wear
than some stuffy old suits.

My truck makes loud noises

when I drive down the street.
It's a lot of fun but I
still take lots of heat.

If it has to do with water,

then it has to do with me.
I will fix your sink or toilet
for a rather hefty fee.

A Pipe Dream I carry a big toolbox

and my name is on my chest.
(That’s so that I can advertise
that my skills are the best!)

Who Am I ? So if there’s hair stuck in your drain,

or your toilet’s overflowing,
Or if your pipes are frozen
or your basement walls are bowing,

I am the one to call

and though this sounds a bit insane,
I know I’ve done a good job
when it all goes down the drain.

My career is really taking off

but there's more to it than that.
For I can take you far away
in 30 minutes flat.
You can sit beside the window
Getting There and look at the ants below.
From here, the earth looks all the same,
no matter where you go.
My future is up in the air.
Who Am I ? My hopes remain sky high.
Most people are beneath me,
cuz I'm quite a lofty guy.
Of course, sometimes I have to keep
my feet firm on the ground.
Like when I'm home,
or when somebody's luggage can't be
found.

Appendix B
Roar
Katy Perry
You held me down, but I got up (hey!)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, your hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up
Get ready 'cause I had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar!
