Dormansland Carnival – community poem:
“If I ruled the world…
If I ruled the world, it would be awesome!
If I ruled the world, I would be deposed tomorrow
If I was king of the world
The pressure would make me EXPLODE
If I could rule the world, I would grow really tall
and score lots of baskets in basketball
If I ruled the world, I would live in a tree
I would live in a tree, and always be free
My friends would all come for dinner
We would all get chicken tikka
If I ruled the world, I would make everybody listen to songs and eat tangfastics!
If I were queen I would make everyone jolly
and give all the children a lolly.
If I ruled the world, if I was in charge,
McD meals would all come in large!
If I were king for a day
I’d be the best scientist ever
I’d do lots of experiments and explosions
And go to school… never!!
If I ruled the world, I would be happy every day
And spread love and happiness to all.
If I ruled the world, I would have my own aircraft
With a member of staff to make me laugh.
First we would go to Africa to go on safari.
We won’t take a break.
I hope we find a snake
If I ruled the world, I would have lots of money,
and meet the Easter bunny
Everybody would like dogs
Even my granddad, who prefers logs
If I ruled the world, and I could say just how it’s run
We’d only work one day a week and that would be for fun.
If I ruled the world, I would make the weekend 5 days long.

“If I ruled the world…
If I ruled the world, every meal would be breakfast
and the school week would be over really fast.
If I ruled the world, time would revolve around me
so I would never have to worry about being late
If I ruled the world, I would invent a time machine,
So that if I made a mistake I could go back in time and correct it!
If I was king of the world,
I would do the Silver Duke of Edinburgh, and then the Gold
My chocolate cake is very nice.
I would like to win the first prize.
If I ruled the world, I would eradicate war
I would convince all the rich to give to the poor
If I ruled the world, I would make an oath to banish war
And rid of hurt, pain and fear
If I ruled the world, I would end all war
and eat chocolate galore
If I ruled the world, I would get everyone what they want and give to the poor
If I ruled the world,, I would make sure everyone had fresh water and food
If I ruled the world, I would give money to the people who have less
And stop the world from being a mess.
If I ruled the world, I would look after the poor,
Make them rich and happy, mop their dirty floor
If I ruled the world, I would give food to the poor
And live in a massive house with a nice floor.
If I ruled the world, I would help people with no money
and make their life rather funny
If I ruled the world, we would all be as one (and kiss three times)
If I got my way, every day
I would pay for a vacation across the nation.
If I ruled the world, there would be no starvation
food for families and their friends for their destination

Dormansland Carnival – community poem:
“If I ruled the world…
Every one would be free from fear, poverty and starvation
If I ruled the world, I would stop all pollution
And all my friends and family would think of a solution.
If I ruled the world, I would end poverty everywhere
Make sure everyone wasn’t hungry, cure diseases,
make sure everyone was happy
If I ruled the world, everyone in Africa would have clean water,
And all farm animals saved from slaughter.
If I ruled the world, just for 24 hours,
I would help the poor live, so the happiest world is ours
If I ruled the world, the people in Africa would not be hungry
and everyone would be equally as rich
If I ruled the world, there would be peace, no poverty
and love, love and love
If I ruled the world, it would just simply be
that love and peace would reign and there’d be always generous humanity
If I ruled the world, I’d give all hospitals a medicine to cure all illnesses
Then I’d give everyone in the world a second chance in life.
If I ruled the world, no child would go hungry, there would be no wars and peace
and happiness would reign
If I ruled the world, I would end all the fighting
then become friends until the end
If I ruled the world, there would be peace and we would live with one direction
and family
and everyone would live happily
If I ruled the world, I would tell each person to love and treat each other in the
right way
If I ruled the world,
there would be no cruelty in the world
If I ruled the world, I would create world peace
and I would end world hunger
If I ruled the world, I would pay for people’s troubles so they didn’t grumble
If I was a king for a day

“If I ruled the world…
I would make the world more peaceful
And I would make the children more playful
If I ruled the world, I would have anything I want and help the poor who have
nothing and have no heart to share and make sure they are healthy and fit and
have a good life.
If I were king of the world
Fair and care would be everywhere
If I ruled the world, I would end world hunger
And give everyone a 40-inch TV
If I ruled the world, as king for the day
I would go off to the countryside and roll around in hay
Then I’d go and find a horse and saddle him in style
I’d ride around really fast and that would last a while
But most of all, I’d build a Hall
And live there with a girl.
If I were queen for a day I would let them play
Until it’s May, so they can have some hay
To say I’m on holiday. Yippee!
If I ruled the world, I would have Disney World closed for the day,
to go on all their rides – on holiday.
If I ruled the world for a day
I’d give out free holidays
I would make every day my birthday
starting with today. OK.
If I ruled the world, I’d have it my way
Everyone would have an ice cream a day
If I ruled the world, for one day
all I’d have to say would be hooray!
If I ruled the world, I would like to be king for 24 hours a day
and buy my mum a palace for her to play.
If I ruled the world, I would live in the queen’s palace for a day
And all the taxes, the government will pay

“If I ruled the world…
If I ruled the world for a day
I would make everyone say Hooray.
If I ruled the world, I would live in a palace made of sweets
And would party all day every day!
If I was king for the day I would go on holiday.
If I ruled the world, every day would be Sunday
If I ruled the world, I would make the sun shine throughout the summer
If I ruled the world, chocolate would be on the NHS
and the sun would shine when it’s summer!
The grass would cut itself and no, the car would not get dirty
I could sleep 8 hours from 3am and get up at 6.30.
If I ruled the world and sat aloft
Skating would be easy, ice would be soft.
If I ruled the world, if I was in charge,
we’d all have cool hair, just like the Simpsons’ Marge
If I ruled the world, I would build a charity
that would give stray cats mats and woolly hats
If I ruled the world, I would get rid of homework
and have a three-day weekend
If I ruled the world, life would be free
There would be no discrimination or racism and everyone would be treated
equally
Everything would be free, so everyone could have something.
If I ruled the world, people would stop crying
and start flying
If I ruled the world, horses would stop riding and start flying
If I ruled the world, I would help poor people from dying
and stop all the crying
If I was king or queen, I would treat all people who are dying
and get a jetpack that will send them flying
If I ruled the world, I would become king,
and maths would be the only thing!

“If I ruled the world…
If I ruled the world, I would be an actress
I would be a character filled with evil and badness.
If I was Queen, I would change the national anthem to some thing more cheerful.
If I ruled the world, I’d have a walk-in wardrobe with a new dress and pair of
shoes for me each day
If I ruled the world, I would marry one direction
and give orphans affection
I would let everyone have a real family and an education
And no pain over all nations.
If I ruled the world, everything would be free
But not for everyone – just for me.
I would make litter droppers become litter pickers for a week
Eight hours a day, supervised.
If I was king and in charge of all,
I’d make every MP go on the “big red balls”
If I ruled the world, it would rain sweets and the sea would be Coke
And every boy in the world would fancy me.
I’d make every celebrity with money
Dress up and look funny
If I ruled the world, I would make school learn more about God and Jesus
There would be no post!
If I ruled the world, I’d make every family happy
I’d give them lots of care and a dog that’s ears are flappy.
If I ruled the world,, I would give people toys
So they would have lots of joy.
If I ruled the world, I would be really funny
and people would give me lots of money.
If I ruled the world, I would live in paradise and swing on my swing seat
If only my kids would listen to experience and wisdom,
and learn from my mistakes.
An easier path they would embark,
and not repeat the wrong paths I did take.
If I ruled the world, I would make everything in the world free

Dormansland Carnival – community poem:
“If I ruled the world…
to me and my friends and family
If I ruled the world one day
I’d make the government get me a team
just to guard my ice-cream
I’d play for a national team,
But after eat lots of strawberries and cream
If I ruled the world for a day
I’d put the taxes down, Hurray!
If I ruled the world for a day.
I’d stop the tsunamis
So there’d be no more harmies
I would make a chocolate factory exactly the same as the one from Charlie and the
chocolate factory.
I would even have the oompa loompas working for me.
If I ruled the world, I wouldn’t be employed
I would have others working for me, so my time would be enjoyed.
If I ruled the world, I would give people a car so they can go fast.
If I ruled the world, I’d spend time helping people who helped themselves
If I ruled the world, I would make every person go to church
If I ruled the world, I would find a million pounds
I’d choose to spend it on a car that goes round and round.
If I ruled the world, I would rob all of the banks
and sack all the bankers for not saying thanks
When I rule the world, everyone shall eat marshmallows 24/7,
It will be sunny ALL the time
Everyone will dress up like a butterfly, own a Mini Cooper, dolphins and
dalmatians.
Everyone will give me flowers, everything will be pink and there shall be 10 days
of holidays dedicated to me (and tag will be an Olympic sport).
If I ruled the world, nothing would happen and everyone would eventually die.
If I ruled the world, I would destroy all sources of badness
I’ll try to make the world a better place.
How I don’t know, but I’ll try!
