My World

Art especially made for this poem.

My World

If I could write one single play
and share it with the world
it would be all about the
magic of imagination

in which
kindness was a ruler
happiness was a given
and sadness was unheard of

the world would be a magic carpet
that we could all, together sit onĀ 

clocks would turn back
instead of moving forward
at least on those happy days
capturing the best in every cornerĀ 

water would be Champagne
Champagne would be water
Yes, do have a think about this oneĀ 

dogs would work in the office
so we'd have more time to walk ourselves
Cats would drive the bus
singing songs of diamonds and pearlsĀ Ā 
Parrots would bring the post
and crocodiles would milk the cows
Monkey's, well imagine that one for yourselvesā€¦

Camels would sing in bars
thereā€™s one, heā€™sĀ called GiovanniĀ 
he smokes a fat cigar
he wears a pair of ray bans
and plays an old guitar

every home would have
a laughing kookaburra
the doorbell, he would be
he'd simply wish to greet usĀ 
then take to his perch back in the treeĀ Ā Ā 

did I tell you about my famous chair?
Shakespeare is its name
sometimes when I wish to write
the Bard himself appears
weā€™d read his greatest poems
heā€™d teach me, oh so much
we'd have a garden shin-dig
and finish it off with rum punch
Ā Ā 
In my own great play
I wish for nothing to be real
If I keep tap dancing
my imagination remains surreal.

The champagne stanza.

And did you mention rum punch?Ā 

And always in every good story

There is a kookaburra.
