If the Rubik's cube was round I'd roll it in the snow 
caress it like a meatball then hide it in the dough 
If it had same old shades of white aligned to match 
and two knobby handles with a little silver catch 
I would turn it slowly, rotate it, find the latch 

If the Rubik's cube was spherical like soccer balls
combinatorially correct, without four simple walls 
If it was soft in the center instead of hard like rock 
I'd squish it into place just like a child of Dr. Spock 
put it on a leash and slowly walk it round the block 

If the Rubik's cube was a big old Ferris wheel of fun 
I'd configure it with motion and solve it on the run 
If the Rubik's cube was bally and built like solid O 
I'd solve it in a jiffy, match the colors yell Bingo ! 
I'd wear it like a trophy and put it out for show 

If the Rubik's cube was made for geniuses like me,  
they'd be far too easy, and given out for free.

This is a brilliant take on the theme--I must admit, some of these themes are well beyond my capacity to imagine.
