What I would do

What I would do

A Poem by Joel A Doetsch

What would I do for you?  There's lots of things, actually


I would spontaneously start speaking Hungarian for you...but it probably would sound like nonsense

and some Hungarian dude
   Would be all like "Haver, nem tudsz magyarul beszélni"
        I would shrug, because 
              I don't know Hungarian...
But I'd still do it for you, if you wanted me to.


I would fly us to ancient Mayan burial grounds, where we could
   Learn all about a lost culture
           We would run into a cursed
                   Mayan Chief...but he'd actually be pretty cool
              He would teach us how to do a rain dance,
         Every once in awhile he'd look at you and say "kíichpan"
   and I'd be like..."Dude, back off..."

                       He's like 2000 years old...
                             He's way too old for you.


I would carve you an Ice Sculpture in your likeness
        Taking care to make sure that every detail was perfect and reflected
            Your beauty              
               In every possible way.
     I'm not too good at Ice Sculpting, though, so it might just end up looking
            Like an oddly-shaped block of ice.

      Sorry...
            I hope you would like it anyway


For you, I would count to infinity
     Which might not sound like a feat, at first
   But then I would count back to zero

  I'm pretty sure no one's done that before....

     I won't be able to do it all in one day
So it might take awhile...
                  Hope you don't mind waiting for me


    I would write poetry every day for you
            Because I know that I would never run out of things
       To write about



....Well, maybe every other day.
