Poem
What if trees never got old? What if Doritos weren't extremely bold? What if my mom was my dad's uncle's cousin? What if bees chirped and birds were buzzin? What if every house had a drawbridge and moat? What if the Cubs hadn't bothered the Billy Goat? What if girls changed bodies with boys? What if there was no such color as turquoise? What if black turned into white? What if day turned into night? What if a freezer made things hot? What if I had a personal robot? What if the Little Engine never did try? What if Pinnochio never told a lie? What if they just gave the poor rabbit Trix? What if after one, two you didn't pick up sticks? If all of these what ifs were actually true, The world would be wonderful for me and you. Then I Would... If the sky switched places with the ground, Then I'd be forced to walk upside down. And if there were no age to a tree, there'd be plenty of oxygen for everyone to breathe. If every house had a drawbridge and moat, When I went to my neighbor's, I'd need a boat. If the Cub's Billy Goat curse wasn't severe, Then they could win a World Series this year. If the boys switched place with girls, Then a muscular man would wear a necklace with pearls. If the day happened to turn into night, Then the sun wouldn't be nearly as bright. If the freezers were used to heat everything, I'd use a microwave to cool my ice cream. If I had a personal robot whose name was Gabe, Then I'd never get up except to bathe. If Pinnochio admitted that he was a doll, Then perhaps his nose would be rather small. And if the little steam engine didn't think he could, He'd be stuck on the tracks, and that'd be no good. If the kids gave the rabbit Trix and answered his cries, The he wouldn't have to dress up in disguise. If all of these things happened just as I hope, Then everyone would be happy, and no one would mope.
