Dennis Lee Poems
They never stop asking me
"What will you be?--
A doctor, a dancer,
A diver at sea?"
...
I'm thinking in bed,
Cause I can't get out
Till I learn how to think
What I'm thinking about;
...
I found a balloon and it went up a tree
I learned how to ride on a pony for free
And I looked at a girl and she knew it was me
When I went to the Summerhill Fair.
...
The Best Poem Of Dennis Lee
What Will You Be?
They never stop asking me
"What will you be?--
A doctor, a dancer,
A diver at sea?"
They never stop bugging me:
"What will you be?"
As if they expect me to
Stop being me.
When I grow up I'm going to be a Sneeze,
And sprinkle Germs on all my Enemies.
When I grow up I'm going to be a Toad,
And dump on Silly Questions in the road.
When I grow up, I'm going to be a Child.
I'll Play the whole darn day and drive them Wild.
