God's Wheel by Shel Silverstein (Silverstiein ’81)
God says to me with kind of a 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."
