 If bricks in the edifice were replaced by inflated balloons,  

The colossal structure would tumble down on earth; like a pack of soft plastic cards. 
 
If acerbic blades of the ceiling fan were; replaced with satiny Persian cloth,  
I would be able to kiss the contraption; even when revolving at full speeds. 
 
If coarse cloth of jagged trouser; was replaced with succulent candy floss,  
There would be a battalion of red ant crawling up; devouring the sumptuous meal. 
 
If a cluster of calcium teeth; were replaced by intricate fillings of wrought iron, 
The individual would have the prowess to chew the hardest of stone; yet not be able to smile. 
 
If the gargantuan body of saline ocean; was replaced by ponds of still water, 
There would be no whales swimming; with frothy waves disappearing into oblivion. 
 
If salubrious juice of jaggery; was replaced by chemical sugar,  
A myriad of bowels would expurgate themselves; relinquishing taste. 
 
If shards of obdurate crystal glass; were replaced by gelatine paper,  
There would be a chain of robberies committed all day; with the burglars sleeping sedately throughout the night. 
 
If every iota of soil on ground; was replaced by granules of exquisite silver,  
There would be no penurious existing on earth; with all green foliage ceasing to grow. 
 
If the metal wings of aircraft; were replaced by pure cotton,  
The plane would acrobatically nosedive towards the ground; assassinating slim hopes of survival. 
 
If entwined bones of body; were replaced by plum juice,  
The body would inevitably collapse on the ground; diminishing all hopes of plausible autopsy. 
 
And if humans on the globe; were replaced by mechanized robots,  
A plethora of tasks would be executed to meticulous perfection,  
And the most versatile organism; would fatally succumb without learning the art of love.
