one-hundred-and-three


if i live to one-hundred-and-three
i hope that i've sailed the mediterranean sea
and absorbed a healthy amount of vitamin d
maybe i will have more than one academic degree
that all revolve around painting, drawing, singing, and pottery

i hope that i lived in the capital of tennessee temporarily,
and grew a beautiful avocado tree 
and drank unglody amounts of norwegian tea
i hope that my 17 children visit me 
even though i'm senile and mostly crazy
i hope that my man still loves me
even though i'm wrinkled and scary

i hope my dentures are comfy
and my eyes don't fail to see
the colours of the seasons, i love leaves
o' one hundred and three
 i hope you don't make me cranky
that would be a dangerous sight to see

hmmmmm.... mmmhm.
if i live to one-hundred-and-three
i hope that i'm used immeasurably
