If the world was crazy, you know what I'd eat? <br />A big slice of soup and a whole quart of meat, <br />A lemonade sandwich, and then I might try <br />Some roasted ice cream or a bicycle pie, <br />A nice notebook salad, and underwear roast, <br />An omelet of hats and some crisp cardboard toast, <br />A thick malted milk made from pencils and daisies, <br />And that's what I'd eat if the world was crazy. <br /> <br />If the world was crazy, you know what I'd wear? <br />A chocolate suit and a tie of eclair, <br />Some marshmallow earmuffs, some licorice shoes, <br />And I'd read a paper of peppermint news. <br />I'd call the boys 'Suzy' and I'd call the girls 'Harry,' <br />I'd talk through my ears, and I always would carry <br />A paper unbrella for when it grew hazy <br />To keep in the rain, if the world was crazy. <br /> <br />If the world was crazy, you know what I'd do? <br />I'd walk on the ocean and swim in my shoe, <br />I'd fly through the ground and I'd skip through the air, <br />I'd run down the bathtub and bathe on the stair. <br />When I met somebody I'd say 'G'bye, Joe,' <br />And when I was leaving - then I'd say 'Hello.' <br />And the greatest of men would be silly and lazy <br />So I would be king... if the world was cazy.<br /><br />Sheldon Allan Silverstein<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-the-world-was-crazy/
