>When I am an old woman I shall wear purple

>And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
>And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
>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.
>I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
>And pick the flowers in other people's gardens . . .
>And learn to spit.

>You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
>And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
>Or only bread and pickle for a week
>And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.

>But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
>And pay our rent and not swear in the street
>And set a good example for the children.
>We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

>But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
>So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
>When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

Do you know whether this poem is public domain/GPL'd/Open Source.

Citing it as you have done certainly qualifies for coverage under fair use.
