When I Grow Up

When I grow up I would be a doc

All the patients would say 'Sir', knock knock 

I will make them well and give a good cure

They would be so happy, am sure.

I can be a teacher too

Will keep learning and teaching something new

I would be the nation builder 

But I think it's a big job

Let me think of it when I'm a little elder. 

What if I'm an engineer

I'll make big parks far and near

I would make the world a paradise 

And save the environment and be wise. 

Or I can be a vet

And keep not few but so many pets

I can talk and play with them

But would I not be big by then? 

I can be a pilot or an astronaut

Oh my God, the things I would do... What not

But what if I want to be home quick

To keep me up in space they might give me an extra ice-cream to lick.

What if I be a singer, actor or chef

I would dance or act or sing or make some yummy cake batter

What do I do out of these... The prior or the latter.

There is so much to do around

Life is calling I can hear the sound 

But I think there is much more fun

In being a child so I'll be one.
