When I grow up <br />I want to be, I want to be <br /> <br />I want to be an optician <br />Look into peoples eyes <br />Detect when they tell lies <br /> <br />I want to be an a technician <br />First break all things apart <br />Then repair all broken parts <br /> <br />I want to be a princess <br />I shall have not the type of distress <br />That is imposed upon a mistress! <br /> <br />I want to be a mathematician <br />Calculate the time a person turns up late <br />Calculate the amount of time I have to wait <br /> <br />I want to live life like a footballer <br />Rather than read like a scholar <br />Better to kick about to earn the dollar <br /> <br />I want to be an actress <br />So I will never have to earn less <br />Without the need to learn any form of gratefulness <br /> <br />I want to be a politician <br />Tell them what they want to hear <br />Introduce and Induce some fear then finally show some care <br /> <br />I want to be an accountant <br />You see money is important <br />It is easier than trading like a merchant <br />Or making money by being pregnant <br /> <br />I want to be a preacher <br />Instead of being a teacher <br />After all the former is usually richer <br /> <br />I want to be, I want to be <br />I want to be a doctor <br />For then I can score <br />With anyone I fancy who knocks on my door <br /> <br />Copyright 2006 - Sylvia Chidi<br /><br />Sylvia Chidi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-i-want-to-be/
