If I Were in Charge of the World

Vaughn had to write some poems for language arts. Some were in the style of those they had read. I really liked this one.

If I Were in Charge of the World
by Vaughn Walter


If I were in charge of the world
I'd cancel soccer,
Baseball,
Asparagus, and also,
War

If I were in charge of the world
There'd be more animal shelters,
Smaller footballs, and also,
Bigger shoes

If I were in charge of the world
You wouldn't have allergies
Pneumonia,
Global warming,
Country music,
And the apocalypse

If I were in charge of the world
A gecko would be 5 foot long, you'd also have
Man-eating cauliflower,
Vegetables would taste like chicken,
There would be such a thing as a Mommmotiposs,
Birds would live under water and eat sharks,
Superman would have blonde hair
And Britney Spears would be a rapper

If I were in charge of the world
It would rain cats and dogs
Garden gnomes could walk and talk
And volcanoes would erupt hot fudge

    That's wonderful and so Booboo. He's such an amazing boy. All of your boys are. Please give them all my love and tell Booboo I loved his poem. Does he have an email address yet?

    Okay, I am all about the country music dealio ban too. Tell him I love him. I'm a fan!

    Of course, more animal shelters, that's good too, of course.

    You've done a fine job raising that boy, Jess.
