"If-ing" by Langston Hughes
Listen to more GoodPoetry at www.GoodPoetry.org.\n______________________________________\n\n"If-ing"\n\nIf I had some small change\nI\u2019d buy me a mule,\nGet on that mule and\nRide like a fool.\n\nIf I had some greenbacks\nI\u2019d buy me a Packard,\nFill it up with gas and\nDrive that baby backward.\n\nIf I had a million\nI\u2019d get me a plane\nAnd everybody in America\u2019d\nThink I was insane.\n\nBut I ain\u2019t got a million,\nFact is, ain\u2019t got a dime \u2014\nSo just by if-ing\nI have a good time!
