Somebody

"When you grow up,
What will you be?"

Grown-ups are always
Asking me.

"Do you want to be famous
Like folks on TV?
Or maybe a doctor's
What you'd like to be?

What do you like most in school?
'Cause that could be a clue
To help us figure out
Exactly what you'd like to do."

They ask and ask,
"We want to know
So could you tell us please?"

And I'm nice, so
I do my best
To answer all of these.

But late at night
When I'm in bed,
I whisper to my teddy,
"Sometimes I think that they forget
I'm somebody already!"
