If Mice Could Roar

If Mice Could Roar

And elephants soar;

And trees grow up in the sky;

If tigers could dine

On biscuits and wine,

And the fattest of man could fly!

If pebbles could sing

and bells never ring

And teachers were lost in the post;

If a tortoise could run

And losses be won,

And bullies be buttered on toast;

If a song brought a shower

And a gun grew a flower,

This world would be nicer than most!
