When I Grow Up
"When I grow up," proudly said Sam,
"I am going to be a garbage man--
To New Jersey I think I'll go,
To Boston, New York, then Idaho,
Collecting treasures along the way,
A garbage man I'll be someday!"
"When I grow up," said Emily,
"A scientist I mean to be,
Searching for cures to all disease,
I'll experiment as I please,
Learning new facts every day,
Exploring atoms my own way!"
"When I grow up," said dreamy Ben,
"I'll make a living with my pen,
Adventures with words on a page,
Writing the silly and the sage,
And when your careers are all done,
I'll still be having lots of fun!"
