"If-ing" by Langston Hughes
May 21, 2018 00:00 - 41 seconds - 672 KBListen to more GoodPoetry at www.GoodPoetry.org. ______________________________________ "If-ing" If I had some small change I’d buy me a mule, Get on that mule and Ride like a fool. If I had some greenbacks I’d buy me a Packard, Fill it up with gas and Drive that baby backward. If I had a million I’d get me a plane And everybody in America’d Think I was insane. But I ain’t got a million, Fact is, ain’t got a dime — So just by if-ing I have a good time!
