When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandles, and say we've no money for butter.

Source: Warning, first four lines.
-- Jenny Joseph, (May 7 1932-2018), British poet; She is best known for her poem Warning, a.k.a. When I am an old woman I shall wear purple.
