Adult life comic poem by Angela Lansbury

Adult Heaven - Seeing The Queen

by Angela Lansbury

Then I was young and very small 

I was taken to see the queen

But adults stood in front so tall

That the dear queen could not be seen

I’d wanted to wave at the queen

I’d wanted to get attention

(I was told that we all should wave -

So my school could get a mention)

How old was I away back then?

Maybe just six! Maybe seven?

I thought that when I grew up tall

That I’d be in adult heaven

At first being adult was hard

You must decide, you must be brave

You have to learn to work and earn

And what to spend and how to save

Now I’ve bought a big TV screen

Which shows details of every scene

I clearly hear and see the queen

I don’t care that I can’t be seen

Now that I’ve grown and I’m adult

Kids think I’m wise, say I’m clever

So every day that I learn more

Adult life’s better than ever.
