Would it change…
If the sun rose from the west?
If you aren’t wished ‘all the best’?
Or snakes walked and fishes flew
Ants vanished and dodos grew?
Would it change…
If rice no longer needed water?
And each birth demanded a slaughter?
Or if the leaves on plants turned to black?
Or England’s Queen lived in an old shack?
Would it change…
If in Hogwarts the sorting hat
Cried ‘Hufflepuff’ on Harry’s pat?
Or if in the great Caesar’s fall
‘Et tu Brute?’ was not his call?
Would it change…
If the praised Oxford Dictionary
Misspelled “evrithing” in a hurry?
Or Hitler won the Second World War?
Or North and South Poles were not so far?
It wouldn’t change anything my friends,
Except to create some different blends
In the morning papers and in our minds,
Whose windows are blinded by green blinds.
