Last night I read some poems by Judith Viorst, one of my favorite writers. There's one called “If I were in charge of the world,” my favorite line from which is:
“If I were in charge of the world
“A chocolate sundae with whipped cream and nuts would be a vegetable.”
Naturally, that led me to thinking about the state of the world if I was running it, and I concluded that:
If I were in charge of the world, children under 12 would not be permitted in any public place; vodka martinis could be drunk by the gallon without causing intoxication; all blackjack tables in all casinos would deal single-deck pitch for $2 minimum bets; and no person would be admitted to a Walmart store wearing pajama pants.
That’s all I’ve come up with so far, but I’ve only had 24 hours.
