What Happens If
Slow and steady will make you a loser,
and the rabbit did kick that turtle’s ass.
Never work hard when you can play all day,
and true love is never going to last.
Perhaps the emperor had some new threads,
and the fox could be trusted all along.
The earth is smashed flat just like a pancake,
and there’s no difference in right and wrong.
True kindness is always a wasted thing,
good will never triumph over the bad.
Little Red Riding Hood made the best meal,
of any that big bad wolf ever had.
Playing fair will not get you anywhere,
and true love is never a splendid thing.
Three strikes mean that you can keep on swinging,
nobody cares what tomorrow might bring.
What if the sun don’t shine after a storm,
and the darkness never sees the dawn's light.
Each day is not a chance to start over,
and the stars don’t shine in the sky at night.
The sky did fall on Chicken Little’s head,
and the spoon never ran off with the plate.
We have world peace and there’s no more hunger,
and mankind hasn’t already met its fate.
