If I Were in Charge of the World


If I were in charge of the world
I'd cancel allergy shots, 
Donald Trump, 
bananas,
and also global warming.

If I were in charge of the world
there'd be dimmer LED car lights,
cheaper books,
warm homes for the homeless, and
free education.

If I were in charge of the world
you wouldn't have broken hearts.
You wouldn't have schedules.
You wouldn't have dirty dishes.
Or "Where are you going for college?"
You wouldn't even have to grow up.

If I were in charge of the world
mozzarella sticks would be a vegetable.
All book to movie, films would be liked.
and a person who sometimes forgot to say sorry
and sometimes forgot to think of others first
would still be allowed to be
in charge of the world.

  1. I will think of you now when I see bananas! I don't love them myself. :) I like your wishes for everyone to have a home and books and open schedules, and I really wish we all didn't have to grow up...
