If I Were in Charge of the World

If I Were in Charge of the World

 

(Form change poem with thanks to Judith Viorst)

 

If I were in charge of the world,

I’d cancel being mean and some food.

 

If I were in charge of the world,

There would be more food,

More toys,

And lots of ice cream, cake, and gum.

 

If I were in charge of the world,

You wouldn’t have murder.

You wouldn’t have stealing.

 

If I were in charge of the world,

Ice cream with everything on it would be a balanced meal,

And a person who sometimes leaves clothes around the floor

And has funny nicknames

Would still be allowed to be

In charge of the world.
