when I am older

When I am older I will be a ninja warrior
Sneaking into old folk’s homes in the evening
Maybe even during their naps in the afternoon

I will make angry guttural noises
Throw my weight around

I will carve up their curtains and their lamp shades
Jump up and down on their beds
Terrorizing and terrifying them

Nurses will have to chase me out
When I am older
