If I were King, a butterfly Walking on a rose Would fly away and land upon A little girl's nose. Then flap his wings and hop about, so she could smell the rose-- If I were King
If I were King, every Mom Would have servants at her call Waiting on her hand and foot To get ready for the ball-- If I were king
If I wre King, our Dads Would rest on their day off. Or maybe watch a ball game, Or play a round of golf-- If I were King
If I were King, the teacher Would, each day, be thrilled To find two dozen little empty heads Just waiting to be filled-- If I were King--
If I were King, each little boy Would have a puppy of his own So they could sit together And lick an ice cream cone-- If only I were King.
Thanks for this one. A person almost wants to type it off and stick it to the refrigerator door. However, it deserves a higher ranking location than that.
cute write! reminds me of when the cowardly lion is singing "if i were king of the forrrresssssssssssst" in the movie, "the wizard of oz"; could hear him singing this poem! :) LOL enjoyed! :) (((HUGS))) and love, your friend, karen lynn in texas.
Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
