RESHAPING THE WORLD

RESHAPING THE WORLD

If only I could change the world,
I'd make it square for a start,
Design the trees with oblong leaves
And flowers in the shape of a heart.

The sun would be a diamond and
The moon a cupid's bow,
Shooting stars at the chevron hills
And the zig - zag lakes below.

Pyramids of mountains, too,
Would add to this angled place,
While the sea could be striped or even checked,
Filling in any empty space.

Nothing would be circular
On this newly chiselled ground,
But I've no plans to ring the changes
While love makes the world go round.
