What If

What if pigs could really fly?
I’ll not get in to how or why
But if a pig could really fly
I’ll have a different life won’t I? 

I will have a published book
Of poetry of notes I took
That will enhance my bank checkbook
When pigs can fly

I’ll drive a Bentley or a Rolls
I’ll have a buyer buy my clothes
My audio will be all Boise
When pigs can fly

My wife - you know – the pessimist
When I bring up my dreamer’s list
She’s the one that tells me this
“When pigs can fly”

But I know they have flown before
I’ve got a wife that I adore
She’s such a dream and so therefore
I know that pigs can fly

What if pigs could really fly?
Sometimes I wonder if some try
Fulfilling dreams for you and I
What if pigs can really fly?

Pig's have flown for decated and they are ready to fly anythtime that you deem recond in the Name of the Lord. Pig' are what you get when contemplating upon a dream and reality is just the secquil. So get ready for your best write ever! Everybody has a pig in his closet and that pig must fly! Keep the write-up, up on your stupendous form and let that pig sproute wing's and fly once again! You friend in the pen/G.FIELDS
