Could You Be Queen or King For A Day?

You've all heard the saying, Queen for a Day.
If I had the power to offer you the luxury of being a King or Queen for a day, how would you react? Would you accept it willingly, and how would you spend your day? Which King or Queen would you choose to be... for example, would you choose the Queen/King of Hearts, the Queen/King of the Jungle, the Faery King/Queen or the Queen of Sheba? How would you dress, and what would you try to achieve?
I'm sure you all have different thoughts on the matter, and I'm so interested in learning a little more about my friends here. Share your thoughts, please?

Oh, I don't know. I think possibly quite a few might turn me down, merely because they don't have the confidence to lead. But, it never hurts to dream my friend. Is there something else you would rather be?
Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution.

Awww
I was so hoping I could be
Queen of the WORLD!
No more wars are allowed!
No more hunger allowed!
No one suffers in my Queendom!
The food coffers will be distributed
though out the world...
And for this one day everyone can smile
and feel loved!
We will all respect each other.
Honey maybe if I do a good enough
job everyone will decide to continue
and the world will be happily ever after!
That was fun.

With those sort of sentiments, maybe your subjects would allow you to remain Queen of the World, long after that one day, my friend. I think you would be the most popular lady ever. Oh, that I could make that dream come true for you.
Brightest Blessings and thank you for such a wonderful contribution, my dear friend. xxxxx

I would certainly love to be the King for a day. I love to be the Fairy King of the Jungle. I would love to have good vegetarian food and love to have a big castle near a lake and would love to travel in horse and would love to bath in waterfall. If I have power, I would certainly would make all the animals and birds eat fruits and vegetables rather than killing one another. I would certainly make all human beings eat fruits and vegetables because I believe every one has the right to life in this beautiful world.

I love your initial dream of being Fairy Kind of the Jungle with a big castle ner a lake, a horse and waterfall to bathe in!
As for the vegetarian part of it... I really don't think that would work unless you could weave a special magick and change everything and everybody, because our make-up is what gives us the need to eat meat. It's not bad to eat meat, my friend... we need a balanced diet of fruit, vegetables, meat and fish, and that will never change, because it's in our make-up, as it is with many animals, birds and even spiders. Meat provides us with proteins and has always been a part of the human diet. Don't get me wrong... I love my vegetables, but even a vegetable is a living thing... trees are living things but we take their seeds and eat them. It's much the same as eating meat, but eating is something we have to do to stay alive, and that means a balanced diet of all those things.
Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution, my friend.

It would not be an easy thing to accept because I would not be used to all this attention, but perhaps I would accept it if I thought I could do some good.
If I was Queen for a Day, then I would like to be the Queen of Hearts. I would reccommend everyone to have a days holiday, and it might be called All You Need Is Love day, where the words of that song were translated into every different language and for everyone to think about what that means. Of course it is an idealistic principle, but perhaps if there was more love in the world there would also be more peace.
And I would accept the makeover and a new dress, of course,
;) but not too much extravagance, I would also say that everyone should give 10% of that days earnings to the ONE campaign to "Make Poverty History" including myself.

Hello my Friend! Long time, no see! I hope you're well, and enjoying life. Good to see you, again.
I'm sure your desire to creat a world full of love and peace would overcome your uneasiness at being in the limelight, my friend.
The makeover and dress would be no problem were your day's reign to bring a successful, loving and peaceful environment for all. I admire your sentiments and loyalty to a commendable charity as well. So, if I had the power, you'd be Queen of Hearts for the day, without question, my friend.
Brightest Blessings, and thank you for your contribution, dear friend. It's so good to see you back in the fold.

hello my friend.
:)
It's also good to see yourself, and I hope you are keeping well. It has been a while, hasn't it? I am well, thank you and have moved since we last spoke, which along with some projects I have been working on, is why I haven't been around for a while.
It is so nice to see some friendly names and faces still here, I hope to be here more often now. Thank you for your kind welcome back.

In reality, I couldn't do it. I don't want to be a ruler... too tough of a job if done "right". If done "wrong", I'd be a tyrant... not my style.
Jokingly, I'm always up to play King Laharl, the OVERLORD!
I mean, going around yelling "Overlord, Overlord, OVERLORD", and laughing 75% of my day... I could seriously do that. Plus I get to wear very powerful weapons and armour (see my profile for my made up samples). Yep, that I could do Darkwing.

I doubt you could do very much wrong in twenty four hours, my friend.... or could you?
Pray, what would you do with your powerful weapons and armour, whilst yelling "Overlord, Overlord, OVERLORD", and laughing 75% of your day? The mind boggles!

Cripes! All these things whizzing around sound dangerous to me! I'm gonna find the Wizard of all Wisdom and Magick, quickly, to see if he can come up with a solution!
Seriously, my friend. Thank you for such a light-hearted contribution to my discussion. It was great to read! xx@theprogamer (10532)

The Overlord version would be something my no Yami (darkside) would gravitate too. And I too wonder what I'd really do. There are dark decrees that must be proclaimed throughout the land. There is also a darkened iron fist I have to swing around... I mean being overlord has to have "I'm in charge" moments, or else something like a rebellion could occur. Oh wait, I'm over one thousand levels above all the people. Nevermind on that one... still fun to swing an iron fist though.
The "regular" king scenario... I couldn't rule a country due to the gravity of the entire event (plus I'm framing it more in real life, and not a fantasy). I don't think I'll screw up per se, actually people that want to be kings, queens and rulers... THEY have the distinction of bungling the job up. That is where some of my thoughts in this scenario come from. Plus a bit of humility.

Oh good one Darkwing! I think I would like to be a Faery Queen for the day. I would love to have more understanding of that world. They would do things differently maybe have different 'powers' and ways of thinking that perhaps some of which I could use in this world to make people happier.
If I were a Queen in this realm is more than likely that I would try and help people, the poor, those in need of food. Oh so many things but being a Queen also means that there are many obligations that one needs to undertake, you have to act in a completely different way too. I don't believe it would be easy to be a Queen, not even for a day.
Thanks for this discussion.

What would you say if I told you I wouldn't put any restrictions on your powers for that day, whatsoever. What if you could employ a team of Pages throughout the World, to carry on your wishes after that day? But be careful, because you'd have to be very sure about whom you selected to carry on your work!
I think your intentions would be very good, in creating peace and harmony throught the World and amongst its inhabitants. Brightest Blessings my dear friend, and thank you for your conribution. xx

Even Jesus was depicted wearing a basic robe and sandals, my dear friend. We don't need to dress up to make a difference to the World, its peace and the faith we need to instill in the hearts of men.
I can point out at least four people you have helped tremendously in life, least of all, me, and would gladly instill in you the power to be King of Hearts and Inspiration, for the day, for you really do have the qualities for this.
Brightest Blessings, my dear friend, and thank you for your contribution. x

Hi darkwing! Oh, if you have that power to bestow me such priviledge of being a Queen, I will gladly accept. I would choose to be the Queen of Hearts. I will rule over all the hearts of men and open their hearts to love. I will show them Love is the best thing one can really hold close in their hearts. I will show that Love is what makes life beautiful. And I will show them that true love is patient and kind and unselfish. I will show them that with love we can all be at peace and happy in this world. I would really like to achieve that moment of my being Queen that love will reign in all our hearts. Just my thoughts dear friend! Take care and have a nice day!

A lovely sentiment, my dear friend. Love is the essence of life, and I think most of us already hold it in our hearts, but it needs backing up sometimes with trust, loyalty and faith. (No pun intended)
There are some people who don't realise how much love they have to give, or to receive, but I'm sure if you were to be Queen of Hearts for one day, there would be many changes in the hearts of men.
Brightest Blessings my dear friend, and thank you so much for such an imaginative contribution. xx

Hmmmmm, I think I would want to be the Magical Faery Queen with a Magical Wand. I would happily fly around waving my Wand over the entire earth, sprinkling my twinkling magical dust, to the surprise of everyone. We would be able to talk to the animals, the tree's, the flowers, the insects, and listen intently to the harm we are doing them. Everyone's wish would come true for one day as long as it is not harmful and peace would envelope the entire world. Tummy's would be full for one day and food would be abundant, and lessons taught on how to grow and harvest, completely abolishing hunger. Logging would be banned forever so the Rain Forests could recuperate and flourish. Rivers, Sea's, Lakes would be cleaned and refreshed for the new world. Neighbor helping neighbor, helping neighbor all around the world building clean liveable houses with electricity, water and heat, and windows all around to let in the Sunshine. The leaders of the world would come together and treat all as equals under them in their own country's (we do need leaders of some sorts unfortunately, haha).
I am a very powerful Faery Queen, lol!

Now, I think if the Magickal Faerie Queen teamed up with Zed, The King of All Wisdom and Magick, they would eliminate the need for leaders anywhere. Leaders are mere power seekers anyway, thinking of themselves, rather than the balance of the Earth. My King and Queen have the Planet and all life thereon, in mind. So to heck with the current world leaders. Wave your wand, sweet Faerie Queen and banish them from their power!
It sounds to me that you would have world equality in mind... everybody would have the same, and there would be harmony. You also have all living things, and Nature in mind, so, I wouldn't think twice about appointing you Magickal Faerie Queen for the day, my dear friend.
Thank you for such an imaginative and wonderful contribution, and Brightest Blessings. xxx

being a head in the family is hard work not to talk of being a king its a great responsibility that requires a lot of wisdom,patience and understanding,i guess i will like to see what it feels like to really serve people and be served too,also being a king will stop you from doing things you would normally like to do,like i love to wear my shorts when am at home it becomes difficult to do that and you tend to have too many visitors

Wooooooo... you only have to be without your shorts for a day, my friend!
Come to that, if you wore longish socks, you could probably still wear your shorts and get away with it!!!
Yes, King of the Home and King of Wisdom, Patience and Understanding would be similar, but how about using that on a wider scale?

Ok, my friend, we'll make that Queen Glenda the Good Witch. I like your thoughts about your golden wand, as that would certainly get through helping many in a day. I'll grant you the power to fly around the World too, so that everybody in he World can benefit from your magick.
Thank you for your contribution my friend, and Brightest Blessings. x
