Muddle in the Puddle

I can run a race
And leave the others far behind
I can fly beyond the highest banyan tree
I always try my best
So everyone's impressed
How could this muddle in the puddle be me?

I can talk to thunderclouds
And make them see my side
And I'm friendly with the meanest bumblebee
With all that I do well
I know that I excel
So is this muddle in the puddle really me?

I look weird
It's much worse than I have feared
These dumb antennae curl so much I wanna hide

I'll lie low
Till I know
If it's something I'll outgrow
The way I look is not the way I feel inside

I can tell a joke
And get the saddest Sprite to laugh
Now the joke is on my head for all to see
I'll never reach perfection
Just look at my reflection
I guess that muddle in the puddle must be me
