Spiritual and Inspirational poetry that touch the heart and soul, and provoke the mind.
If I were a hammer, I'd miss the nail.
If I were a knife, I'd cut a finger as well.
If I were a letter, I'd be lost in the mail.
If I were a criminal, I'd be stuck in jail.
If I were a student, I'd miss the bell.
If I were a boat, I'd have a torn sail.
If I were a beaver, I'd have lost my tail.
If I were in a storm, I'd get beaten with hail.
If I were a gossiper, I'd forget the tale.
If I were a farmer, I'd roll wet bale.
If I were a salesman, I'd lose the sale.
If I were a painter, I'd drop the pail.
If I were a boy, I'd be named 'Gayle'.
If I were a sinner, I'd go to hell.
