I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.

Source: Warning, lines 5 to 8.
-- 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.
