When you grow up


Veterinarians play with puppies,
    soft fur and scratchy tongues
Police officers solve crimes,
    helping all, both old and young
Airline pilots travel,
    flying far and wide with speed
Teachers make the world go round,
    helping students love to read
Astronauts see galaxies,
    they explore in outer space
Detectives, they wear coats and hats
    and always solve the case
Scientists keep learning
    and experiments are fun
Doctors practice medicine
    always healing everyone
Many answers to the question
    that they asked to every kid
"What'll you be when you grow up?"
    My brother said "giant squid"
Now I've seen the world, though,
    and I don't know what to be
So my answer to the question...
    ...I just want to be happy
