If I Were In Charge of the World...


If I were in charge of the world 

I'd cancel debt
deadlines
bills
and also college tuition. 

If I were in charge of the world
there'd be dogs
cats
and coffee everywhere.

If I were in charge of the world
you wouldn't have traffic
you wouldn't have heartache
you wouldn't have sickness
or "Bless your heart"
you wouldn't even have bad days.

If I were in charge of the world
a chocolate cake would be a vegetable
All traveling would be free
and a person who sometimes forgot deadlines
and sometimes forgot to turn stuff in
would still be allowed to be
in charge of the world.

  1. Hey, Lorna.
    I like how you keep a theme throughout your poem. You bring up deadlines in several of the stanzas which brings a sense of consistency to a somewhat random format.

  2. I really relate to the free traveling line because I plan on going everywhere but my bank account disagrees.
