I Remember When

I remember when just a little girl

At the age of three or four,

I'd pick out penny candy

When mom took me to the store.

I even took off by myself

One bright and sunny day.

I told the lady "charge it"

Like I heard my mamma say.

The years have past of saying,

One of "deeze and deeze and deeze."

My purchases don't make me feel

Like telling  anybody   please.

Now,  each morning I must stand

Before a row of pills,

Saying one of "deeze and deeze and deeze"

To "doctor" all my "ills."
