If I were in charge of the world <br />I'd cancel oatmeal, <br />Monday mornings, <br />Allergy shots, and also Sara Steinberg. <br /> <br />If I were in charge of the world <br />There'd be brighter nights lights, <br />Healthier hamsters, and <br />Basketball baskets forty eight inches lower. <br /> <br />If I were in charge of the world <br />You wouldn't have lonely. <br />You wouldn't have clean. <br />You wouldn't have bedtimes. <br />Or "Don't punch your sister." <br />You wouldn't even have sisters. <br /> <br />If I were in charge of the world <br />A chocolate sundae with whipped cream and nuts would be a vegetable <br />All 007 movies would be G, <br />And a person who sometimes forgot to brush, <br />And sometimes forgot to flush, <br />Would still be allowed to be <br />In charge of the world.<br /><br />Judith Viorst<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-i-were-in-charge-of-the-world/
