I Will Be Rich and Famous
I am going to be rich and famous,
everyone will know me, my name in lights!
Great! Where will you start?
Will you be a singer, dancer, artist, basketball star? Quarterback?
Not sure yet.
But I will be grandiose and brilliant; everyone will be calling my name.
I will wear dark sunglasses, and people will fight over my autographs.
I will be the utmost!
When will you start?
How will you begin?
What is your plan?
What talent will you pursue?
It is not clear yet, but when I begin, watch out!
I will zing through this world with zest.
I will have so much zeal, it will electrify guitars.
I will be on magazine covers, I will be the best.
I am sure that you will, honey.
When will you begin?
What can I do to help?
Not sure yet. My plan must be perfect.
Of course, sweetie, but honey, you are already sixty.
Do you think you could start with a nonperfect plan and tweak it?
Absolutely not mother!
