Anthology

I am tryig to hold of a poem I belive as in my Anthology when I took my GCSE’s in 2005. I dont know what its called or who it is by but its about an old woman who says she will run her walking stick along teh railings and paint her nails red.
Anyone know it?
Oops sorry ignore the painting the naisl red it. Getting my poems confused!

Its called "When I am Old I Will Wear Purple" by Jenny Joseph.

Brilliant poem!

   Not a clue and it sounds very strange…try reading Jim Morrison, he is exceptionally good.
