Мечтаю часто: я – король!
Бездельничать – вот моя роль.
Царём Испании бы стать –
Без слов могу в дождь кепку снять!
Будь у французов королём –
Нечёсаный ходил бы днём.
В Афинах, сев на царский стул, -
Часы с камина бы столкнул.
Вождём в Норвегии мне быть! -
Слона заставил бы гостить.
Держи в руках я Вавилон,
Я б рукавички сбросил вон!
А в Тимбукту бы трон имел, -
Вообще творил бы, что хотел!
Хоть чем-то управлять позволь!
Дух пОднял б войску! - «Я – Король!»
Алан А. Милн. Будь я царём

If I Were King
I often wish I were a King,
And then I could do anything.
If only I were King of Spain,
I'd take my hat off in the rain.
If only I were King of France,
I wouldn't brush my hair for aunts.
I think, if I were King of Greece,
I'd push things off the mantelpiece.
If I were King of Norroway,
I'd ask an elephant to stay.
If I were King of Babylon,
I'd leave my button gloves undone.
If I were King of Timbuctoo,
I'd think of lovely things to do.
If I were King of anything,
I'd tell the soldiers, "I'm the King!"
