I am aged and I live alone,
I like it, it's  fun,
Do whatever I want,
No one to say don't.
I live like a queen,
Though I am a has been,
Room service three hundred sixty five days,
Breakfast in bed
Lunch and dinner on the sofa drives my children mad.
My helper sees to my needs,
So why should they heed,
How I enjoy my life.
They say I should be active,
Pray let me be and live.
As a child I have been through poverty,
Faced life's harsh reality,
Walked miles,no cars or buses,
One time meal would suffice,
Even if it was some curry and rice.
Slogged hard to give my children the best of  everything.
I deserve some relaxing and lazying,
I have done everything for everyone,
Now, it's my turn.
