娘が母の日にプレゼントしてくれたポエム

If I were in charge of the world
I'd cancel, pain,
Sickness,
Boredom, and also
Public speaking

If I were in charge of the world
There'd be more books to read,
More cats to stroke,
And more ideas in your mind.

If I were in charge of the world
You wouldn't have brothers.
You wouldn't have "Barney."
You wouldn't have rules,
Or chores.
You wouldn't even have cold showers.

If I were in charge of the world
A cup of tea would be a way to fall asleep.
All animals would be free.
And a person who leaves bikes out,
And is a clutz
Would still be allowed to be
In charge of the world.

人前で話すこと（Public speaking)がなければいいのに、というところが意外。おしゃべりな娘だが、人前で話すのは苦手意識。

最後の段落では、かなり内容がちぐはぐしているけど、１０歳の娘の心境がそのまま表現されたポエムなので、思い出になりそう！

P.S.写真のケーキは、母の日のアイスクリームケーキ。美味しい.....
