When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple
With a red hat
which doesn't go and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer
gloves
And satin sandals and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the
pavement when I am tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my
stick along public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out
in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to
spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a
go
Or only bread and a pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and
things in boxes
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and
not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We will have friends to
dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know
me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old and start to wear
purple.
