God's Wheel

I can across this while reading Shel Silverstein to my boys at night. Now, I don't normally "get" poetry, but I love Silverstein's work.

God says to me with a kind of smile,
"Hey how would you like to be God awhile
And steer the world?"
"Okay," says I, "I'll give it a try.
Where do I set?
How much do I get?
What time is lunch?
When can I quit?"
"Gimme back that wheel," says God.
"I don't think you're quite ready yet."


I think there is a lot in there.
