This week's Sunday Scribblings is "My first act as Queen of the World will be..." This first reminded me of Mary Engelbreit's print above " The Queen of Everything." Second it reminded me of Judith Viorst's classic poem " If I Were in Charge of the World." With apologies to Ms. Viorst I will imitate her poem with: If I Were Queen of the World
If I were Queen of the World
I'd cancel poverty,
Work on week-ends,
Flu, colds, and also
Nasty germs.
If I were Queen of the World
There'd be brighter evenings in fall,
No cancer, and
Climbing roses forty-eight inches higher.
If I were Queen of the World
You wouldn't have abused,
You wouldn't have broken,
You wouldn't have kids without coats.
Or " Don't forget to give me a hug."
You would give lots of hugs.
If I Were Queen of the World
A double mocha with whipped cream and a double shot would be good for you.
All news on T.V. would be uplifting.
And a queen that sometimes forgot to hide her fears,
And sometimes forgot to stop the tears,
Would still be allowed to be
Queen of the World.
