Milestones
I passed my driving test when I was seventeen,
then I could vote at eighteen, didn't know what it would mean;
my first blow-job was a cause for celebration,
but when I was limp, turned out to be a deflation.
Fashion lured me to a pair of pointed shoes,
making love was okay, I had nothing left to lose,
although I had to wear a raincoat as everyone should,
commendable behavior was surely worthy of a 'knighthood.'
When I got married, I gave my freedom right away,
but when in love, you're still thinking of a roll in the hay,
the children kept me young, told me not to be 'yesterday,'
I was playing more games than I could buy on e-bay.
Tell us 'the facts of life,' suddenly came from Dan and his brother,
I said that I think it's best if you speak to your mother.
