Wouldn't it be funny if the sky was always pink
And the flowers grew on trees and smelt of toast
If the people on the buses didn't yap but stopped to think
And if everybody else like me the most
Wouldn't it be funny if the sea were washed away
And they ships had wheels and rolled across the sand
If the people with their busy lives all had a day for play
And we didn't have to hate another land
Wouldn't it be funny if all cars could run on cheese
And the roads were red and grassy, fast and flat
If the people who get angry just kicked back and took their ease
And the whole of life was easy "just like that"
Wouldn't it be funny if the rain was marmalade
And bread and butter flew about like birds
If the people who get in the way all hurried home and stayed
And a poet didn't only win at words
Wouldn't it be funny if you lived next door to me
And I found I didn't have to dream of you
If the people who said "don't do that" said "that's the way to be"
And that loving you was all I had to do

Actually more than funny it would be ideal!!
Imagine actually living in a world like that, one could just raise his hand and pluck some bread and butter from the sky for a munch!
"Wouldn't it be funny if you lived next door to me
And I found I didn't have to dream of you"
Even if she was next door, you would still be dreaming of her! Trust me!!

This is a pretty funny poem. Our world would be pretty different if all of these things changed to become what you wrote! Great job!

would it not be funny oif we all closed our eyes and made a new world, but where would that leave is? some of us can do and get away with it but if we all did we'd be stumped. maybe then another life would take over like the bears! i remember reading a story sci fi ages i forget now by who as i have read so many about bears takibng over the earth after man had hit the stars.
