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 |
