What Will You Be?
by Dennis Lee They never stop asking me "What will you be?—— A doctor, a dancer, A diver at sea?" They never stop bugging me: "What will you be?" As if they expect me to Stop being me. When I grow up I'm going to be a Sneeze, And sprinkle Germs on all my Enemies. When I grow up I'm going to be a Toad, And dump on Silly Questions in the road. When I grow up, I'm going to be a Child. I'll Play the whole darn day and drive them Wild. |
