Read the given poem carefully and answer the questions that follows:

My brothers and their playmates all

Keep planning what they'll do

When they are very big and strong

And educated, too.

John plans to be an engineer.

And Carl a pastry cook.

And George will go to practise law,

And Ben will write a book.

Tom says he'll be a carpenter.

Don wants to be a cop.

And Bals will keep a grocery store.

Or else a candy shop.

They're all so full of business plans

They won't have time to be

The President in Washington

Which leaves that job for me!

Harrietts Wilbur Porter
