When I'm An Old Lady
|
| by Joanne Bailey Baxter |
| |
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!
(When I'm an
old lady and live with my kids...)
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
I'm an old lady and live with my kids...)
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
I'm an old lady and live with my kids...)
When
they cook dinner and call me to eat,
I'll not eat
my green beans or 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!
(When I'm an old lady and live
with my kids...)
I'll sit close to the TV., 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 'til the end
of the day!
(When I'm an old lady and live with my
kids...)
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!" |
