iriscruiser Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 When I'm an Old Lady ****************** 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! I'll write on the wall 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 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 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! I'll sit close to the TV, through the channels I'll click, I'll cross both my 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! 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!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisetarp Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 That is the funniest poem I have read in a long time. I am making a copy to give to both my daughter and daughter-in-law. I guess it falls under the category of "revenge is sweet". Thanks for sharing and starting my day off with a huge laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
