What would happen if you cut off your hair?
What would happen if you tried to fight a bear?
Your hair would grow back with ease
Hopefully the bear would blow away in a strong breeze
What would happen if you drank toxic waste?
What would happen if a gold ring you misplaced?
The toxic waste would turn out to be fake
And the gold ring would be blamed on a snake
What would happen if you dyed your skin green?
What would happen if you broke your washing machine?
The green dye would come out in a wash or three
The mechanic would fix the machine quickly
What would happen if you broke your leg?
What would happen if you dropped the last egg?
You would get a cool cast and have to deal with the rest
At least now the egg you don't have to digest
All these things hopefully will never happen to you
Well if they do, you had better run to Peru!

Great poem. It reminded me ALOT of the one that Shel Silverstine wrote that on the blog called "What if?". But it was good overall...
But In Stanza 3 line 2, it didn't really make sense of how you placed the words in order. And the little response to it also didnt make sense. (But just to me). It was funny how @ the end you put that you have to run to Peru, but it was also just a bit off topic...Good Job overall:)

Marc,
I love your message that nothing is the end of the world (except of course the end of the world). I agree with Nini though, and think your last line of running off to Peru gets off topic and doesn't do justice to the poem. This is great!!
