When I turn ten,
...I'll eat no peas,
I'll not say thanks
...nor pretty please,
I'll take no baths,
...or wear clean clothes,
And if I want,
...I'll pick my nose,
I'll watch TV
...from noon til night,
And with my sister,
...I'll pick a fight,
I'll never put
...my toys away,
I'll switch the toothpaste,
...with Ben Gay,
I'll drink coffee
...from a cup,
Cause when I'm ten,
...I'll be grown up.
But now I'm good,
...because I'm eight,
And being bad
...will have to wait.

When I turn ten,
...I'll run away,
I'll sail the seas,
...feel ocean's spray,
Ride a camel,
...go fly a plane,
Or fight a bull,
...in sunny Spain,
I'll go to bed,
...at sun's first rise,
Each day awake,
...to new surprise,
'Cause when I'm ten,
...I'll have no fear,
"Come in now Tim,"
...what's that I hear?
It's Mom, I guess,
...I'll have to wait,
Because you see,
...I'm only eight.

It was at four
I saw the door,
wanted my chance
to explore

now I surround
me in a room
where the world
comes full bloom

ah Tim, you have the poetry inking early this morn...thank you for that...
