IF I WERE A...

If I Were A Nuke I would be the one NUKE to ask New Zealand to fire me into the sea I would go boom in the sea, blow five hundred thousand fish in the air, blow some of the sea up, no land, I would die like a boss.

If I Were A Bird I would be that one bird the colourful one, the super bird the fastest bird ever, I would like to eat pizza most days and I would be annoying by pecking people’s faces and pooping on their face, I would try to eat people’s food.
