If I were in charge of the world

 

The poet in residence

If I were in charge of the world,

I'd end all wars

we'd eat s'mores and

I would make chocolate milk the drink of the world

 

If I were in charge of the world,

I'd make mozzarella sticks good for people

Everyday would be a holiday

We'd all be nice to beetles and

Every one would read an hour a day

 

If I were in charge of the world

all cars and televisions would be demolished

We'd use airships instead of air planes

global warming would be abolished and

I'd make trains cleaner inside

 

If I were in charge of the world,

there would be fewer people like George Bush

All war movies would be G

and a person who sometimes forgot to help

and some times got caught in kelp

would still be allowed to be

in charge of the world
