If I Were In Charge of the World


If I were in charge of the world
I’d cancel Sundays,
melted ice cream,
commercials, and also
scratchy blankets

If I were in charge of the world
There’d be nicer strangers,
more puppies, and
adult-sized playgrounds

If I were in charge of the world
You wouldn’t have worry.
You wouldn’t have sorrow.
You wouldn’t have lies.
Or “Think realistically.”
You wouldn’t even have doubt.

If I were in charge of the world
a macaroni and cheese
pizza would be a vegetable.
All amusement parks would be free
and a person who sometimes forgot make-up
and sometimes forgot to wake up
would still be allowed to be
In charge of the world.

  1. I wonder why you'd cancel Sundays? I'd cancel that feeling you get when you realize the weekend is almost over and you need to get ready for another week--we call them The Sunday Night Blues at our house.
