If I Were In Charge of the World

By Judith Viorst
If I were in charge of the world,
I'd cancel oatmeal,
Monday mornings,
Allergy shots, and also Sara Steinberg.
If I were in charge of the world,
There'd be brighter nights lights,
Healthier hamsters, and
Basketball baskets forty eight inches lower.
If I were in charge of the world,
You wouldn't have lonely.
You wouldn't have clean.
You wouldn't have bedtimes.
If I were in charge of the world,
A chocolate sundae with whipped cream and nuts would be counted as a vegetable,
All 007 movies would be G,
And a person who sometimes forgot to brush,
And sometimes forgot to flush,
Would still be allowed to be
In charge of the world.

If I Were In Charge of the World
By [Your Name]

If I were in charge of the world,
I'd cancel homework,
Rainy days,
Traffic jams, and also my neighbor's loud music.
If I were in charge of the world,
There'd be candy trees,
Endless summer vacations, and
Puppies that could talk.

If I were in charge of the world,
You wouldn't have worries.
You wouldn't have chores.
You wouldn't have early mornings.

If I were in charge of the world,
A donut would be counted as a vegetable,
All superhero movies would be G,
And a person who sometimes forgot to clean,
And sometimes forgot to share,
Would still be allowed to be
In charge of the world.
