The following poem was handed in to a teacher by a Grade Six student. The
teacher suspects plagiarism but isn't sure. If it isn't plagiarized, the
student deserves top marks. I have tried searching the internet to no
avail. Unfortunately, I am in the process of moving into a new library and
all my resources are packed in boxes and unavailable. Does anyone
recognize this poem?

Growing Up

Do you want to be a famous baker?
Do you want to be a ticket taker?
How about a TV fixer, or what about soda mixer?
Do you want to be an astronaut or maybe you could make a shoe
You've go to be something what do you want to do?
Maybe you could look for the stars
Or how about design new cars
You should try new things
You will never know what life brings
Maybe you should make a revision
Some day you will make a decision,
But not today.
