So you want to be a nurse
and heal the world
but you are only five, honey,
so you will just have to wait
suddenly you are ten and
you want to blast into space
with your new pets,
mr. Frog and mr. Newt
just be careful
when you were fifteen you wanted
to be a rockstar
so I bought you a guitar
and you never played it,
but instead let it collect dust
and spider webs in your closet
now you are off to university
and you tell me
you are once more going to
save the world,
only,
this time,
you are going to be a teacher.
