Analysis of What Would Happen If, Congressional Fancy



I wonder what would happen
if earth were made of cheese
Perhaps it would end crisis and life would be a breeze

I wonder what would happen
if earth were made of deer
Perhaps it would end sadness and life would be a cheer

I wonder what would happen
if earth were made of cake
Perhaps it would end hustle and life would be a break

I wonder what would happen
if earth were made of goat
Perhaps it would end failure and life would be a float

I wonder what would happen
if earth were made of cream
Perhaps it would end anger and life would be a dream

I wonder what would happen
if earth were made of duck
Perhaps it would end bungle and life would be a pluck

I wonder what would happen
if earth were made of sweet
Perhaps it would end hunger and life would be a treat
