This fun little poem has unknown origins. Structurally it bears some resemblance to rhymes like “If all the World Was Apple Pie” or “If all the World Were Paper“.
“If All the Seas Were One Sea” Lyrics
If all the seas were one sea*,
What a great sea that would be!
And if all the trees were one tree,
What a great tree that would be!
And if all the axes were one axe,
What a great axe that would be!
And if all the men were one man,
What a great man he would be!
And if the great man took the great axe,
And cut down the great tree,
And let it fall into the great sea,
What a splish splash that would be!
