SUPPOSE

Suppose the sky was red instead of blue,

Suppose when saying hello we said adieu.

Suppose we didn't walk on the ground,

Suppose the earth was square not round.

Suppose vehicles floated in the air,

Suppose we called our face our hair.

If the sun rose at night and the moon during the day,

If summer was in December and Christmas was in May,

If "Z" was the first letter of the alphabet,

If we meant "right now" and said "not yet",

If everything that is - wasn't,

If everything we did - we shouldn't,

If I were you and you were me,

What a strange world it would be!
