If I was a vehicle... I'd be a 1969 Corvette Stingray, with black leather interior, black exterior, and lots of chrome. I'd hum and growl with the low rumble of a V8 engine. If I was a bird... I'd be an eagle, soaring high into the clouds and nesting in a secluded nook of a mountain side. If I was a plant... I'd be an oak tree, with a full, wide bough and strong trunk. If I was an article of clothing... I'd be a T-shirt with some sort of smartass, sexually-graphic, or funny quote. Oh, and I'd be black or red. If I was a musical instrument... I'd be a drum--maybe a bass drum or maybe a tom. My body would vibrate with the thunder of the sound. If I was a furry animal... I'd be a wolf. I'd live in the deep forest, and I'd have black or dark grey fur.

I 'borrowed' this from deviantart forum. Here are my answers... ------------------------------------ If I was a vehicle I would be a moped weaving across the lanes--plucking the the strings of the city and bursting the staves. If I was a bird I would fly as the crow, throwing my black body against the invading peregrine as my fledglings huddled below. If I was a plant I would be a thistle with purple glory and spiny ways, putting all my energy into downy seeds and then throwing them away. If I was an article of clothing I would be a sock, brave and sturdy but implicitly always lacking its mate--the last one out of the dryer causing consternation--useless but never discarded--just in case. If I was a musical instrument I would be the oboe, silly to look at and whiny in sound--but something no orchestra can do without. If I was a furry animal I would be the rat--oblivious to the general disdain, the scavenging rat's grace outstrips any leopard and its cunning is far greater than that of the fox. 'Admire them if you wish', the rat says sardonically as she scuttles far away from any risk of extinction.

Oh I love the poetry! :D

So far our ensemble only has a drum and an oboe. That would be some seriously weird music.

So far our ensemble only has a drum and an oboe. That would be some seriously weird music. LOLOL! Okay, i'll give it a go. If I was a vehicle I'd be a cherry red Corvette Stingray with a shiny exterior. So shiny as to invite your fingertips to be drawn against my body half expecting them to be wet. Sliding your fingers into my door handle, you open me and slip inside. If I was a bird I would be a crimson red cardinal perched on a tree branch covered in freshly fallen snow. I'd sing sweetly to you- one bright, beautiful spot in the frozen, silent winter. If I was a plant I would be a delicate and graceful fern at the edge of a quiet meadow. My fronds would rise from the mother earth protecting a delicate spray of buttercups below me. If I was an article of clothing I'd be a cherished pair of blue jeans. The sof-*test*-('") of strained, worn cotton my fabric would cling and caress my owner's ass lovingly framing two delightful globes of firm flesh. If I was a musical instrument I would be a saxophone. My sexy, deep notes would fill the air drawing lovers together in intimate embrace. My sweet music would wrap around them like a blanket drawing one to the other. If I was a furry animal I'd be a pretty, little pussycat languidly rubbing my tail against my Master's legs as i circled between them.

If I was a Vehicle, you’d better watch out for the 1969 big-boss Mustang. Souped up, decked out, candy apple red paint. And vanity plates with something really snarky on them. If I was a Bird, there’d be a golden eagle soaring over the badlands of New Mexico. Enjoying the freedom to ride the wind and go wherever it takes you. If I was a Plant, you couldn’t kill me because I’d be ivy. Dig it up, cut it back, hack it down and within a month it’s growing again, just as beautiful as before. If I was an article of Clothing, I’d be big, black, stompy biker boots, nuff said. If I was a Musical instrument I’d be the drum set… ‘cause I’m okay with the beat, but I can’t carry a tune to save my life. If I was a Furry animal a black panther would loll from a large branch in the jungle. Sleek, shiny and deadly.

If I was a vehicle...I'd be a glitzy tank. Fuchsia. With glitter. Because I like armour, because I'm really soft inside, but I've just got to flash. If I was a bird...I'd be an owl. A big owl. With big eyes. I'd peek out of my tank nest and swoop out at night. No one would hear me fly by. Stealth bird, perfect companion to a tank. Sees all, hears all, goes home to think about it. Smiles and writes a story while nesting comfy in her tank. If I was a plant...I'd be moss. It's cushy and soft and sleepy, and doesn't mind the shade. Especially nice for not-tank moments, or when the bird is feeling lazy. If I was an article of clothing...I'd be decent bra. Support and comfort. Yup. Need to work on that. Always something good to work on. If I was a musical instrument...I'd be a set of drums. I'm too clumsy for a flute, but there's elegance in synchronous banging, too. If I was a furry animal...I'd be an otter. I like exploring into odd places, places dark and small, places deep and murky, but I also like to come out into the sun and play. It's not my body, but my mind that is the otter. It can't hold still, even before sleeping.

Hey, lots of drum sets in here. Let's all hear it for cacaphonic symphony!

If I was a vehicle... I would be a Honda Valkyrie motorcycle, rumbling down the road, weaving in and out of traffic, making my own rules. If I was a bird... I would be a mockingbird, taunting from my perch and lecturing before I attack If I was a plant... I would be the ramble rose that creeps over everything with it hard thorny wood and occasional flash of dark color within its weave. If I was an article of clothing... I would be a corset, holding you strong and sure within my embrace and making you just a little breathless If I was a musical instrument... I would be a saxaphone, raw and strong and seductive with my raspy melody. If I was a furry animal... I would be a racoon, always up to no good and enjoying every challenge that it thrown out to me.

Finally, someone to play the melody...

If I was a vehicle- I'd be a snow plow-seriously underrated in aesthetics, but a workhorse, determined to make the slippery and difficult smooth and traversable, needing serious season long down time between hefty doses of work. If I was bird- I'd be a penguin, gifted by nature with a waddling walk and a dumpy physique, but smooth in the water, plucky, resilient, playful, and aggressive if need be. If I was a plant I'd be a baobob tree, huge in girth and hugely stubborn, life uholding and sustaining even in dry times. Clothing-sort of torn- I'd be a pair of sweatpants, ridiculously comfortable, aseasonal, asexual, chromatically atonal, and really flattering on an armadillo, or a pair of high top sneakers in some truly juvenile color- a la early Whoopie Goldberg. If I were an instrument I'd be a Cello, requiring a whole body commitment to hold me, lots of finger tension and mental determination to master, but sweet voiced enough when conquered. If I were a furry animal I'd be a bear, curmudgeonly but quite approachable, even nice if you don't drag her from her cave too early in the season, also bumptious and liable to stick her nose into the sweet stuff regardless of stings.

Well, we now have a writer with one sock, well worn jeans, under baggy sweats, black biker boots, a sensible, sturdy bra, and corset, hopefully worn underneath the sweats, but hey Cindi Lauper and Madonna rule.. By default, I'm guessing, no underwear, and a tee shirt that says...err this is public... umm .. lip smackers make me hum..or something. I am truly impressed. One usually has to go to the tonier thrift stores or skid row to find such a scintillating ensemble. *wink*l
