When I Get Old

When I get old
And am all grown up
A house and a job and taxes
One thing I really want
Is to be a complete doofus
Sometimes, at least

What's the point in growing up
If you aren't allowed to have fun anymore?
What's the point
If you can't look at yourself and laugh?
If you can't slide around the house in your socks?

When I get all old and grown up
I still want to be a kid

Love it! I feel the same way. I mean I'm still young but I still want to act a little childish every now and again when I'm..say..40, for example. So your poem perfectly sums it up. I believe that if you're just serious all the time, there's little fun in your life.
