WHEN
I'M A LITTLE OLD LADY.....
I'll
live with my children and bring them great joy--
To
repay all I have had from each girl and boy.
I shall
draw on the walls and scuff up the floor;
Run
in and out without closing the door.
I'll
hide frogs in the pantry, socks under my bed,
Whenever
they scold me, I'll just hang my head.
I'll
run and I'll romp, always fritter away
The
time to be spent doing chores every day.
I'll
pester my children when they're on the phone;
As
long as they're busy, I won't leave them alone.
I'll
hide candy in closets, rocks in a drawer,
And
never pick up my clothes from the floor.
I'll
dash off to the movies and not wash a dish
I'll
plead for allowance whenever I wish.
I'll
stuff up the plumbing and deluge the floor,
As
soon as they've mopped it, I'll flood it some more.
When
they correct me, I'll lie down and cry--
Kicking
and screaming, not a tear in my eye.
I'll
take all their pencils and flashlights, and then
When
they buy new ones, I'll take them again.
I'll
spill glasses of milk to complete every meal;
Eat
my banana and just drop the peel.
Put
toys on the table, spill jam on the floor,
I'll
break lots of dishes as though I were four.
What
fun I shall have!! What joy it will be!!
To
live with my children --- LIKE THEY LIVED WITH ME!!!
