I'd buy a wife or three or four;
so far I've used just love and luck.
The result: one of us marches out the door;
to me, that result ……sure does suck! !

Of course I'd give LOTS to social orgs;
one favorite is Planned Parenthood.
I'd NOT fund development of cyborgs,
giving only to what I think is good.

I'd pay everyone to neither fight nor steal,
and to follow the childhood 'Golden Rule'.
Those resisting me I might kill (for real) :
I think I'm kind, but …….I'm no fool!

I'd try to rid the world of crime;
I'd see that all had enough to eat.
I'd try to buy myself more quality time,
and watch movies from a theater seat.
