When I Am Old

Contributed by melis on Sunday, 29th September 2002 @ 11:45:00 AM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

When I am old
I will forget my address,
And cause the police no end of bother;
I will wear my hat back to front,
And walk out of the ladies loo
With my skirt tucked into my knickers;
I will remember all the dances I knew as a girl,
But not the day of the week,
Or who is on the throne;
They will sew a spare set of door keys
Into the lining of my coat,
So that I tilt to one side,
And look up crookedly
With a loopy, foolish grin,
Over big goggle eyed glasses,
And I will leave my teeth out
To get the full effect.

Nothing will matter that matters right now,
But age will become a cloak for lifelong follies;
Like never having known my right from left,
Or why I could never make the right choice
About love, work and children;
All my failures will have led me here,
But somehow I will rework them
Into a spectacularly interesting and rich tale,
Worth making a movie out of;
I will laugh, cry and break wind as I please,
And simply ooze contentment and repose,
And maybe in my less bizarre moments
I’ll be seen as a wise, sweet old dear;
And maybe find a toy-boy. Who knows?
When I am old, all my dreams will come true

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
