Read the poem carefully and answer the questions that follow: |
When I'm An Old Lady |
When I'm an old lady, I'll live with each kid, |
And bring so much happiness just as they did. |
I want to pay back all the joy they've provided. |
Returning each deed. Oh, they'll be so excited! |
I’ll write on the walls with reds, whites and blues, |
And bounce on the furniture wearing my shoes, |
I'll drink from the carton and then leave it out. |
I'll stuff all the toilets and oh, how they'll shout. |
When they're on the phone and just out of reach, |
I'll get into things like sugar and bleach. |
Oh, they'll snap their fingers and then shake their head, |
And when that is done, I'll hide under the bed. |
When they cook dinner and call me to eat, |
I'll not eat my green beans and salad or meat. |
I'll gag on my okra, spill milk on the table, |
And when they get angry I'll run if I'm able. |
I'll sit close to the T.V., through the channels I'll click |
I'll cross both eyes just to see if they stick |
I'll take off my socks and throw one away, |
And play in the mud till the end of the day. |
And later in bed, I'll lay back and sigh, |
I'll thank God in prayer and then close my eyes. |
My kids will look down with a smile slowly creeping. |
And say with a groan, ".She's so sweet when she's sleeping!" |
