I'd cancel hot dogs
I'd cancel head colds
I'd cancel gym class
and I'd cancel Sarah Palin, too.
If I were in charge of the world
there'd be longer naps
there'd be bigger clouds andthere'd be brighter stars in the city.
If I were in charge of the world
you wouldn't have "wisdom" teeth
you wouldn't have paper cuts
you wouldn't have tuition
or "only six months left to live"
you wouldn't even have Fox "News"
If I were in charge of the world
a donut milkshake would be a vegetable
all math tests would be a form of cruelty
and a person who sometimes forgot to sleep
and sometimes forgot to eat
would still be allowed to be
in charge of this world.
I love the quotation marks around News! : ) I also like the line about brighter stars in the city sky--that's one thing I miss about growing up in the country, being able to sit outside at night at see such an expanse of the galaxy.
