                           When I was young

             When I was young, and lively and bold
         I wondered what I would be like when I was old
   Whether I would be one of those crazy old ladies with 17 cats,
        Or wore bright yellow frocks, with frilly pink hats?
     Would I call people young hoodlums, and hit them with my 
                          handbag,
 Or give them a penny and say ‘don’t spend it all at once, you little 
		             toe-rag’?
     Would I grumble and groan when countdown was cancelled,
    Or ask my granddaughter which ‘rusted’ member she fancied?
             Would I eat raw cabbage and say ‘in my day…’
  Or would I get the days mixed up and go to church on a Friday?
             But now I know that when I get there
      I’ll do all these on purpose, so you’d better beware!
