Depends

Walk slowly and chew gum
eating prunes makes you run
Thinking of what you should have said
spending more then what you have

Time flies young boys sigh
when they grow and realize
Little girls grow up to
why back then were you so rude

Forgetting why you enter a room
watching media is all doom and gloom
How do you get rid of hiccups
eating ramen to fill you up

Salad dressing not mayonnaise
smoking and drinking is just a phase
Be ready for the big kaboom
sleeping in a underground room

Life is one step then two
one step forward then fall back two
Diapered as babies we outgrow them
only to end up old wearing Depends
