This World from This World by Noah Janus

If this world was a lake,
I wouldn’t take a dip.
If this world was a drink,
I wouldn’t take a sip.
If this world was a book,
I‘d swiftly put it down.
If this world was a circus,
I’d execute the clown.

If this world was a bakery,
I wouldn’t buy the bread.
If this world was a dream,
I’d never go to bed.
If this world was a movie,
I’d leave halfway through.
If this world was a medicine,
I’d flush it down the loo.

If this world was a game,
I wouldn’t want to win.
If this world was a pair of socks,
I’d bung it in the bin.
If this world was a room,
I wouldn’t go inside.
If this world was a baby,
I’d shake it ‘till it died.

If this world was an apple,
I wouldn’t take a bite.
If this world was a B&B,
I wouldn’t stay the night.
If this world was a path,
I’d quickly change my course.
If this world was my wife,
I’d file for a divorce.

If this world was a dog,
I wouldn’t dare to pet it.
If this world was a memory,
I’d easily forget it.
If this world was a playing card,
I’d throw away the pack.
If this world was a gift from god,
I’d give it back.
