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.  Or "Don't punch your sister."  You wouldn't even have sisters.  If I were in charge of the world  A chocolate sundae with whipped cream and nuts would be 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. by Judith Viorst
