------------------------
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 have no money for butter.
And I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens.
and learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickles for a week
And hoard pens & pencils & beermats & things in boxes.
But meanwhile we must stay respectable
And must not shame the children; they mind more,
Even than we do, being noticeable
We will keep dry with sensible clothes and spend
According to good value, and do what's best
To bring the best for us and for our children.
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.
