Being Sweet Sixteen At the Big Dance

Since today you are the one who is elite 
For the next round you will be doing the town 
Games at night, each one being a mature fight
Staying at this dance thinking about that advance 
Enjoying this is an accepted prance 
This action is allowed and true 
Between the final two of you 
But you are now 16 
Excited giddy living the dream 
Starting to be courted by those who at this moment 
Seem important 
Dressed looking for innocent scoring
As a sweet sixteen you are very luring 
Make your points before the music starts to play
Then enjoy that youthful prom getting your way 
Soon summer will be here 
Leaving not much to the imagination after a few beers  
You are now sweet sixteen
Ready to play on an adult team

So many proms are being cancelled. I am excited to see this write. It gives me hope.
