Notes About The Poem

Time For Change

Firstly, I would block all computer pop ups Because they drive poor Dan quite mad … But remember Poetry Soup get an income So if they disappear PS would be pretty sad! I would prescribe sunny days for everyone Because they brighten up dull times in our life But we still need refreshing showers of rain To rejuvenate our wonderful world again I pray a cure would be found for cancer And every other medical condition too People would enjoy a long and healthy life I hope it’s a dream that can come true Poverty, terrorism and war would cease to exist Sadly these issues are down to the human race I pray we can all live in peace and harmony And one day our earth will be a better place Contest If I could change the world sponsored by Dan Kearley 04~09~16

A compendium of bliss here, dear Jan, but what would Donald Trump do for the pissed off vote? Seriously, you be cool. Love, daver
