If

If

A Poem by Z bangbangmaxwell
"

What if?

"
If candlelight was magical 
and elves could steer great ships,
If cherubs took sabbaticals 
and fairies 'skinny-dipped',
-
If butterflies could sing on key 
and angels walked the earth, 
If money really grew on trees 
and rainbows had no worth, 
-
If Santa Claus was just a myth 
and sunshine wasn't real, 
If jelly fish could learn to dance 
and boulders learn to feel, 
-
If minstrels never sang the blues
and candy wasn't sweet,
If Leprechauns wore tennis shoes,
and fishes had left feet,
-
If trains were shaped like 'valentines'
and all balloons were pink,
If elephants did pirouettes
inside of skating rinks,
-
If munchkins grew to 12 feet tall 
and witches were all nice,
if roller-blades had jelly wheels
and 'once' was really 'twice',
-
If puppies came in 'happy-meals'
and squares were really round,
If the oceans never heard of 'seals'
and thunder made no sound,
-
If a day lasted a thousand years
and kittens learned to talk,
If there were no such thing as tears
and teachers ate their chalk,
-
If sea shells were as big as stars
and 'toad-stool' was a name,
If cats drove round in motor cars
and different was the same,
-
If there were motels on the moon,
and cartoons in the sky,
if Monday never came too soon
and pigeons couldn't fly,
-
If the world turned up-side down 
and water flowed up-hill,
the one thing that would never change is:
I would love you still!
