It’s HM’s world…
If I Were in Charge of the World
by HM, age 10 (inspired by Judith Viorst)
If I were in charge of the world,
I'd cancel Mondays,
I'd cancel work,
And all those chores.
If I were in charge of the world,
There'd be everything but hot dogs,
No hot dog buns,
And a fee if you touched a hot dog.
If I were in charge of the world,
You wouldn't have to wake up for school,
School buses would be illegal,
And there would be no homework,
You wouldn't even have school.
If I were in charge of the world,
People wouldn't need cars, because of flying cars,
Money would be made everywhere,
And people wouldn't have to pay taxes.
And a person who sometimes forgot to take a bath,
Or sometimes forgot to do their math,
Would still be allowed to be
In charge of the world.
