WHEN IM AN OLD LADY
<p>
When I'm an old lady, I'll live with my kids,<BR>
and make them so happy, just as they did.<BR>
I want to pay back all the joy they've provided,<BR>
returning each deed. Oh, they'll be so excited. <BR><BR>
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids.) <BR><BR>
I'll write on the wall with reds, whites and blues,<BR>
and bounce on the furniture wearing my shoes.<BR>
I'll drink from the carton and then leave it out.<BR>
I'll stuff all the toilets, and oh, how they'll shout. <BR><BR>
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids.) <BR><BR>
When they're on the phone and just out of reach,<BR>
I'll get into things like sugar and bleach.<BR>
Oh, they'll snap their fingers and then shake their head,<BR>
and when that is done I'll hide under the bed.<BR><BR>
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids.) <BR><BR>
When they cook dinner and call me to meals,<BR>
I'll not eat my green beans or salads congealed.<BR>
I'll gag on my okra, spill milk on the table,<BR>
and when they get angry, run fast as I'm able. <BR><BR>
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids.) <BR><BR>
I'll sit close to the TV, through the channels I'll click,<BR>
I'll cross both my eyes to see if they stick.<BR>
I'll take off my socks and throw one away,<BR>
And play in the mud until the end of the day. <BR><BR>
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids.) <BR><BR>
And later in bed, I'll lay back and sigh,<BR>
and thank God in prayer and then close my eyes,<BR>
and my kids will look down with a smile slowly creeping,<BR>
and say with a groan. "She's so sweet when she's sleeping!" <BR><BR>
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids.)
