Play "what if?" Write down some ordinary or preposterous questions, such as:
-What if the world were square instead of round?
-What if no human being had the sense of taste? What if only one or two people did?
-What if someone invented a device that would do all the jobs you hate to do?
-What if people walked on their hands instead of their feet?
-What if dandelions were suddenly considered to be like gold, the most valuable substance?

Write a short story or poem in which one of your "what ifs" came true.

  1. -What if boys wore dresses, long hair, and makeup, and girls were the tomboy, short hair, masculine type?
    -What if it was normal in our culture to get married and have kids at age 7?
    -What if money didn't exist, and we could get anything we needed or wanted without worrying about financials?
    -What if humans could fly?

    -What if giraffes replaced the human role in this world?

    After the population of humans died off, the mighty giraffe race stepped forward.

    Their leader of the pack, Jaque, ordered to be civilized. Giraffes lived in the human's houses, except there was one problem. They could not fit. So they had to replace all the human's houses with giraffe-friendly houses. These new, improved houses looked normal at first sight. Except if you were to take a look at the roof, there were giant open spaces for the giraffes to poke their head through.

    It was a funny sight, to see these giant creatures trying to drive cars. Surprisingly, they were really GOOD drivers.

    The males wore ties to work, and females wore cute little bows and skirts.

    "Organic Place", a restaurant, replaced Texas Roadhouse and other meat-serving restaurants.

    Jaque made a law against carnivorism, and even forced the tigers out of their meat-eating addiction.

    The carnivores went through withdrawals, but thankfully, Jaque had counselors ready. Soon, everyone in the world were plant-lovers.

    The world was a happy place. :)

  2. What if we could fly?
    What if we couldn't die?
    If we could fly, I would not fly to school
    I would fly to the pool
    If death was non-existant, I could marry Edward
    He wouldn't have to worry about me dying
    Just about me flying
    We would live happyily ever after and fly to someplace really cool.

    That was terrible. Hopefully you got a laugh out of it at atleast. :)

  3. What if we could travel to any time period?
    What if we could affect the future by altering the past?
    What if music had never been "invented"?
    What if we didn't have to go to school?
    What if aliens came to Earth to live?

    A circle in the sky
    flying higher than high.
    Crashing down
    to the ground,
    nobody more scared than I.
    The door opened, revealed
    large green beings from
    outer space, speaking a
    language not known to man.
    They had come to protect us
    from insanely giant space
    monsters.
    Humans and aliens lived
    happily ever after.


    (Yeah, couldn't think of anything else.)

    I woke up. It was early, but i had to get to work, because i had to finish a presentation for my boss. I warmed up some coffee, had some toast and went outside. I said hello to my neighbor Jim, then hopped onto my dragon and flew to work. It was a nice flight, except for some punks on their red tattooed dragon that kept blowing fire at the traffic infront of them. I parked my dragon, and went inside. Sometimes I wish there was a simplar way to get from one place to another.

  5. what if everyone was the same
    What if there were no syndroms
    what if everyone had the same hair
    What if we could jump off a cliff and live
    What if everyone had a million dollars
    What if the world was all water
    What if we could breath under water
    What if we grew tails
    What if we lived on the moon
    What if wee could travel to a different galaxy
    what if nothing was the same


    Well after i won at the stae bowling compitition i was walking home when i relized i was under water. I looked around and everything was the same except that we were under the water. It was the most amazing experience of my life. I could swim everywhere and fell my ears popping and then i grew a tail it was so fun just to be free to swim and not have to breath. Everyone looked the same and no one was differnt. Then i woke up the my sister jumping on me. Well the dream was nice while it lasted!

  6. What if trees were all money,
    and the rivers ran gold.
    If you never showed wrinkles,
    because you never grew old.
    If all the houses were straight,
    all the grass grew just right,
    you never ran late,
    never got in a fight.
    If every sock had a match,
    and your steak never burned,
    and that creaky door latch
    never creaked when it turned.
    If the world was perfect,
    not a note was off-key,
    what a miserably defect
    this world would be.

  7. what if we smiled with our bottom teeth
    and our happy place was somewhere in between.
    What if the world was a square
    and death was only a dare.
    What if my dreams lasted hours and hours
    and my home was made from a flower.
    what if everything was seen in black and white
    and even human beings could take flight.
    What if these all came true?
    If only they would come true
    the world as we know if would be so new.
    If they would come true
    I probobly wouldn't be me, and you wouldn't be you.

  8. What if nobody spoke, but everyone listened?
    We could hear absolute silence
    our minds could expand
    our minds could explode
    how refreshing to listen!
    But how lonely the quiet becomes
    we speak of the world and nobody cares
    we speak of oursleves and nobody listens
    we speak and we speak!
    does anyone listen?
    if everyone listened, nobody would speak
    for to break the silence is to break a spell
    and the world comes crashing down
    full of noise, full of speaking
    and nobody listens
    the spell is broken
    What if?

  9. What if a hobo lived in your bathtub?
    What if dandelions roared like lions?
    What if everyone could hear your thoughts?
    What if everyone randomly burst out in song (like in a musical)?
    What if it really rained cats and dogs?
    What if money actually grew on trees?
    What if our lives were just like a horror film?
    What if speech bubbles were made when we talked?
    What if the world was flat?
    What if walls could talk?
    What if we grew wings?
    What if we had to see everything in black and white?
    What if we lived to be 1,000 years old?
    What if you could change your appearance at will?
    What if you never slept a day in your life?

    I always knew that there was something about everyone that was a little bizarre. But everyone else’s weirdness was nothing compared to what I could do. Actually, it was more like what I could NOT do. From the very day I was born, I never slept a single day in my life. I was like freaking Edward Cullen, but better. I totally didn’t sparkle like that fairy vampire. The whole idea of sparkling vampires that never sleep makes me want to gag every time they’re mentioned.

    Anyway, there isn’t a whole lot to do if you can never sleep. It is pretty cool at times as there is no worry at all about not having enough time to do something. With being up 24/7, you can do everything you could possibly imagine and more. That’s pretty cool, right? Yeah, I’d say so too. Everything about never being able to sleep is all fine and dandy … until you have absolutely nothing to do.

    How I manage to do it, I haven’t got a clue. I suppose I have the internet, television, and my huge library of books to thank for keeping me entertained all these years. I’d probably be crazy without them. They are pretty good distractions from thinking about those fairy vampires or what it would be like to actually sleep for hours…

  10. What if I never had to write
    my life would not be so uptight.
    Despite the fact that I would never have to rewrite and rewrite and rewrite.
    What if I traveled like the speed of light and escaped my stage fright of always having to write.
    What if I didn't have to stay up all night trying my hardest to overwrite.
    What if I never had to write.
    My world would be black and white.
    That would be alright.

  11. What if everyone had a perfect smile,
    what if money grew on trees,
    and coins formed from clams,
    What if people couldnt lie,
    and make up excuses,
    if then, could the world be a more pleasant place to be,
    if junk food was healthy and obesity wasn't a problem,
    if hunger was impossible,
    and terrorism stopable,
    The world would be a better place,
    the people would have a grin on their face,
    What if...

  12. What if?

    our lives were never filled with homework and pointless things.
    people were never afraid and always lived life to the fullest.
    we lived underwater, and could understand every living thing.
    blue is actually a different color, one we haven't heard of.
    and everything we see is just an illusion.

  13. what if our mouth were where our nose was?
    what if we had crayons as fingers?
    what if we all lived lonely depressing lives?
    what if our lives were like fairy-tales?
    what if dogs could talk?

    what if dogs could talk?
    would they love man still?
    would they sniff your butt when you walked?
    or would they yell and bite at Will?
    if dogs could talk
    and learn to walk
    our lives would go down hill.
    they would run for government
    and take over as president.
