When I Become an Adult

When I Become an Adult
When I become an adult,
At fifty-two,
I’ll run away and hide somewhere,
And promise I’ll take you too.
To a place
Like paradise,
I’ll make sure
You’ll find it nice.
There’ll be mountains and lakes,
And two plump cats.
There’ll be joy and love,
And poems too,
We’ll savor life’s second half
And write to friends anew.
