What If a Bedtime Poem For Kids

What If? What if guppies and goldfish could swim through the air? What if birds could only relax by sitting in a chair? What if spider webs looked like charming bungalows? What if cheese sticks had to be hunted out in the jungle-os? What if curtains were carefully hung up in the Maple trees? What if cookies only came from buzzing little bees? What if horses were allowed to take rides on our backs? What if skateboards could take a ride on the rail road tracks? What if Saturdays came more than just once a week? What if at your birthday presents you could take a peek? What if alligators played music every time they’d sneeze? What if teachers taught Algebra to the chimpanzees? What if delicious gumballs grew out in the yard? What if scoring soccer goals wasn’t all that hard? What if arching rainbows were something you could touch? What if with each of the colors you could skip Double Dutch? What if the medicine that the doctor gave you tasted like ice cream? What if you and your best friend could go to sleep and dream the same dream? What if all of these things were completely true? It wouldn’t matter at all to me because I would still love you.

What if I found a new poet friend to read and follow? This is sweet stuff and your excellent comments on "Where Have You Gone America" brought me here. I'll be back for more for sure. Terry

Wow this is so good! Not only cute but very imaginative. If you are not writing this type of stuff for a living you should be! That way parents would not be so bored while reading to their kids! The alligator playing music and the gumballs growing in the yard were just fantastic!
