If Mice Could Roar (Ruskin Bond)

If mice could roar
And elephant soar
And trees grow up in the sky,

If tigers could dine
On biscuits and wine,
And the fattest of folk could fly!

If pebbles could sing
And bells never ring
And teachers were lost in the post;

If 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 better than most.
