If I Were Queen of the World...

If I were Queen of the World, my first act would be oh, this is a tough prompt this week - I usually try not read other Sunday Scribblings first before I write mine, but I've accidentally seen some that have done so much with it already, some of mine might seem silly, and I don't have much time, but I'll try to add a little more - hmm, let's see...

Would it be, to end all wars immediately? Yes, that would be my first Royal Decree, I think...any disputes between countries, thereafter, would have to be decided by personal competition between the leaders of the respectives countries. A triatholon? Arm wrestling? Or a chess match...or maybe just Parcheesi, best two out of three. That ought to stop them from trying to foment a violent melee...

But that would be just the first decree...I'm sure there'd be several decrees issued forth...

No child, no one at all, really - would go to bed hungry or cold, ever again...

Each person would be issued a daily ration of chocolate...um, we'd have to come up with an alternative for those who are allergic or don't like it - maybe jelly beans...

Children wouldn't work in factories, or wouldn't have to work anywhere till they're teenagers, except to do their schoolwork and their own chores...

Everyone that wanted one, would have a home of some kind...there would be hostels and camping grounds available for those who would rather have that kind of home...

Transportation would change - there would be bikes for quick rentals; metal cars would be phased out for air-powered, waterproof Nerf cars - that way if anyone collided, they'd just bounce off to the side...they'd run better, too, and wouldn't break down all the time...

Firefighters, safety workers, EMTs, doctors, nurses - all the health care professionals, and the teachers, artists, writers, the farmers of small farms -- they would all be as revered, and well paid, as movie stars are now. They'd be the ones featured on the covers of 'People,' and 'Time'. They'd be the ones living the lifestyles of the rich and famous...

Everyone would have clean, clear water to drink and swim in..

No one would kill dolphins, whales, elephants or rhinos, etc for dumb reasons - not any of the animals we would want to still see tomorrow - too many to list here, right now....

No more cutting down all the rainforests, either...

All food would be inspected and tested, guaranteed to be as healthy and safe as it can be...

Did I mention the daily chocolate rations? I think I did - everyone that wants some will have some...

All loud power equipment, especially power saws, lawn mowers and leaf blowers, would be solar powered, and have mufflers or silencers...

Siesta-time wouldn't be just for Spain, anymore. Workplaces could stagger the times, to work out best, of course - especially for those who snore...but cookies and naptimes would become de riguer...

Reading would be rewarded, especially reading to children. Your library card would earn you bonus points for reading, that could be used for discount savings and travel bonuses, galore...

There would be one day of the year - all around the world - where everyone, everywhere, celebrated -- giving thanks for the planet, all at once - there'd be parades, feasting, laughing, singing and dancing...

The next day, everyone that needed to, would be allowed to sleep in...

I'm sure I could think of some more, if I just had a little more time, but these would be good for a start, I think...

Visit this week's Sunday Scribblings to find other royal decrees.

OK - I gotta run - not sure if I'll be able to be around for a day or two, so I'll see you on Wednesday, if not before then...

(In case you're wondering, this is a tiara I made for Violette's tiara challenge a couple of years ago)

Have a great week.

I'd live in your country if you were Queen!

[gemma]

Hail Queen Tinker. Yes disputes should be settled by arm wrestling or rock paper scissors.No more war!!!

[Imelda / Greenishlady]

I'm glad someone like you has ascended to the throne. I didn't get to play this week, but I'd be very glad to hang around the court of Queen Tink, and I totally approve of all your decrees!

[Cre8Tiva]

[AscenderRisesAbove]

[Paris Parfait]

[inlandempiregirl]

Long live the queen... I can see the two of on the cover of Time eating our daily ration of chocolate and being honored for being artists and teachers. Great post!

[Tammy Vitale]

I don't guess Queen's get voted in - they just are - but you have my vote! esp about the library card and bonus points and reading to children thing - actually, I think that's a great real world idea with tons of potential and if I weren't focused on my art right now, I'd steal it, find some travel agency partners, and work it for all it's worth. An amazing idea!

[artzyjudie]

I would want to live under your reign, Mz. Tink. Forever! Stay safe! xoxoxo

[Alison Whittington]

I wish you were queen of the world, Tinker.

[Redness]

I'll be a loyal subject without a doubt! All Hale!

[GeL]

Queen Artist Tinker,
Wonderful proclamations! So many topics of like mind to me, although I doubt I would have thought of them for this prompt. The chocolate tastes wonderful btw and you looked smashing on the cover of Time!

[miss*R]

You can be Queen in my world Tinker... heck, you already are xoxo You will look like the Pied Piper with all of us following you....

[Sweetpea]

Theres so much I'd want to do if I were queen! I do like the daily choc rations though I'd also have to do that too! xxx

[Imelda / Greenishlady]

Tink, My geography is poor, but I am concerned... are you in the area affected by the fires? My prayers are going out to all those affected, and I'm hoping that all is well with you and your family.

[Carmen]

Lovely.
You have blue blood.
I want you to be our queen!
My vote is absolutely for you.
I am back reading blogs. I had a crazy time in my side of the world but now everything seems back to normal. Thank you for the mermaid post. I am making one for sure ;-)

[rochambeau]

I Vote for You Tinker to be my Queen. Can I send in my resume to be the Royal chef for all things chocolate?? Then you may need party favors for all of your Ta~do's and I think I may be just your girl!

You Queen Tinker are a Beautiful Soul!
I adore your kingdom! Do you know Somepinkflower by chance?
