Read the poem carefully and answer the questions that follow:

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 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 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 and 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 T.V., 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 till 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!"
