Is this reading ok or hideous?

Its for a 9 year old to read.

Honest opinions as always please


I Wanna Grow Old With You by Adam Sandler
I wanna make you smile,
Whenever you're sad.
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad.
All I wanna do,
Is grow old with you.
I'll get you medicine,
When your tummy aches.
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks.
Oh it could be so nice,
Growin' old with you.
I'll miss you, kiss you,
Give you my coat when you are cold.
Need you, feed you.
Even let you hold the remote control.
So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink.
Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink.
Oh I could be the man,
Who grows old with you.
I wanna grow old with you.

    Not for me i'm afaid - we hated anything that rhymed or talked about marriage being something you had to work on - which pretty much is all of them! ?

    Having said that - for a 9 year old to read, I can kinda see how it could work. Afterall, I couldn't imagine a 9 year old reading anything "too old" sounding (IYGWIM)

    Saracroft had the original musical version just after they signed the register at her wedding which was good. Not loving it as a poem though sorry.

    Im on the fence. I really like it but actually dont think its right for 9 yr old and shouldnt it be for one person to say to another?!

    My friend has given me a reading her son did.

    On your Wedding Day

    Today is a day you will always remember
    the greatest in anyones life
    You'll start the day off just two people in love
    and end it as husband and wife.

    Its a brand new beginning the start of a journey
    with moments to cherish and treasure
    and although there'll be times when you both disagree
    these will surely be outweighed by pleasure

    You'll have heard many words of advice in the past
    when the secrets of marriage were spoken
    but you know that the answers lie hidden inside
    where the bond of true love lies unbroken

    So live happy forever as lovers and friends
    its the dawn of a new life for you
    as you stand together with love in your eyes
    from the moment you whisper 'i do'

    And with luck, all your hopes, and your dreams can be real
    may success find its way to your hearts
    tomorrow can bring you the greatest of joys
    but today is the day it all starts.

    Thats the reading that i read out at a friends wedding......i cant see a kid getting his mouth around some of the words though without a stumble or two in the scanning of it all.....

    as for the adam sandler....... hmm, not keen for a kid to read about the line 'putting you to bed when you've had too much to drink...' thats just me though...
