Peace Not War Forever More

Now, how could a dumb Dodo bird possibly have a solution for World Peace? Don't even ask. While Cooksie was flipping through the pages of a dictionary, for some reason I pointed to a word which magically lit up like a rainbow star.

I asked Cooksie what the word was and how to spell it, “P-e-a-c-e, the word is peace,” she said sarcastically.

I told her, “Maybe that's the problem. People don't know how to spell peace. And possibly, that's why they can't find it in their hearts. W e have to remind them to search under the letter ‘P' in their dictionaries.”

I stared at the word and the longer I stared the brighter it glowed. It spoke to me with words of wisdom and Dodo legends, which I recited to a stunned Cooksie.

Dodo Peace Legends:

•  One Dodo kiss turns anger into bliss. So I'm planning to sneak kiss each ruler when they're not looking. If it works, we just might get our “Dodo Peace Bliss Wish.”

•  Dodo spit brings out the gentleness in whoever is spit upon. It's only a legend, but if it's true I'll try to spit on as many world leaders as possible.

•  Legend also has it that each time you laugh at a Dodo you become more of a Dodo yourself.

•  One drop of a Dodo's blood has a gazillion laughs in it. So if I put one drop of my blood in the water supply of each country, it just might get the whole world in a Dodoized laughing frenzy.

•  For world peace to be a reality, people must have all the Dodo traits—laughter, unconditional love, goofy innocence, and purity of heart.

Give a Piece of Your Heart for World Peace:

•  I would like to send all the rulers of the world a Dodo-licious “Peace Cake.” When they take a bite of a “Piece of Peace,” they will unfold and glow like angels with hearts of gold.

•  I would also like to send everyone a “Dodo Sing-a-Song for Peace” e-mail. It will say, “If you have peace in your heart, pass this song along to a friend in need. And join us on the Dodo brick road to World Peace without greed.”

•  Another idea is to name every newborn baby “Peace.” This will keep Peace fresh in everyone's heart and mind even when they're changing diapers.

•  I'll make little golden Dodo keys for people to open up their hearts. When placed over their hearts, it will unlock their love for each other.

I sure hope that some of my ideas work. If not, I'll just keep on trying. I think that World Peace is worth it, don't you?
